Crusades And The Manorial System

346 Words2 Pages

After the Roman Empire inevitably fell, trade fell along with it. Manors grew more popular as they produced everything anybody needed - they were self-sufficient. Not only this, but the populations of towns and cities shrunk. Everybody was involved in these new self-sufficient manors and the manorial system. But due to the Crusades, trade was revived. The thousands of crusaders brought back “exotic” goods like dyes, medicines, silks, foods and spices which made the Europeans considerable profits. The crusaders made these profits by taking their goods to where everybody was, where there was more to trade for and higher chances of making money. Thereafter, towns grew in population because people no longer needed to rely on the manorial system.

They began as a way to gain control of the sacred places that were important to each religious group, most notably the Holy City of Jerusalem. The Third Crusade was a three year long war between the Christians and Muslims under very prominent rulers like Richard the Lionheart and Saladin.

    As a result of war, especially during the crusades, religious leaders gained more relics, as the knights sacked captured cities. In the Fourth Crusade, Villehardouin tells his readers how "the spoils were so great that no one could tell you how much it amounted to in gold, silver, tableware, precious stones, samite, silk cloth, garments of vair, grey fur and ermine, and all the fine things that were ever found on Earth." As a result, these riches were meant to go to the churches. This is significant, as these items could have been used to encapsulate more relics with gold and precious stones. While Villehardouin does not state everything that was seized, one can guess that the knights would have also sacked churches in Constantinople and discovered additional relics. Although this contrasts with the idea of pilgrimage, the practice was generally accepted, as the knights thought they were saving the relics.
