The fall of the Byzantine empire and the peasants' revolts

Dear students!

Whatch the video:

from 10:30 to 12:30

We will skip the power struggle of popes and kings which caused a big chaos in Europe. It is enough to know what caused the trouble (the investiture controversy) and things happening in Avignon. So you won't need to deal with so many rulers and religious leaders :)

However, you should touch on these points and make notes:

1453, Constantinople, Ottoman empire, Hungarian munitians expert (read here about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orban), cannon, fee, behead, Islam,Christianity, Hagia Sophia, 

fewer people, serfs, demands, peasants' revolts, urban artisants, workers in the cloth trade in Florence, debt, taxes, "Long live the little people!"

Upload your notes.

Good luck!
