UNIT 7: THE MIDDLE AGES
Repopulation:
The Reconquista involved not only the fighting, but also the repopulation of areas previously
occupied by the Muslims.
Feudalism:
It was a hierarchical social system that was used in the Middle Ages. It consisted of the king
and four other groups of people.
- The king who ruled the country.
- The nobles who were very rich and lived in castles.
- The knights who fought in the nobles armies and got land from thems.
- The clergy who were religious people like priests, monks and nuns.
- The peasants who were serfs. They had to work on the nobles land and give them part
of their crops.
Medieval cities:
They were protected by a large wall. People had to enter and leave the cities through fortified
gateways. Streets were very narrow and people lived in bad conditions.
Crafts people and artisans made products which were bought and sold by merchants.
Craftspeople who did the same type of work joined together to form guilds in order to control
the price and quality of the products.
In the Middle Ages there were four main styles of medieval art in Spain: Islamic,
Romanesque, Gothic and Mudjar.
