What to Focus On

  • Feudalism became established in the eleventh century.
  • Its roots go back to the Roman Empire and Charlemagne’s age.
  • The medieval era covered the fifth to the fifteenth centuries.
  • Marc Bloch studied feudal society in depth.
  • He focused on geography and collective behaviour.
  • History must include social and economic life, not only rulers and wars.
  • Clovis became king in 481 and converted in 496.
  • Charles Martel became mayor of the palace in 714.
  • Pepin became king in 751 and founded a dynasty.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Feudalism began in the eleventh century, so its earlier roots in the Roman Empire and Charlemagne's age do not matter.

The three orders were simply priests, nobles, and everyone else with equal importance.

Abbess Hildegard's statement and the bishop's statement mean the same thing, so there is no difference between them.

Memory Tips
