The Christians will not allow you to go any further!
Then we will fight back!
The Great Schism
I disagree with you!
I demand a schism!
We can now start our own churches after this schism!
When Charlemagne was approved by the pope, everyone was pleased to have him as a strong leader, and a fierce person to have on the battlefield.
The First Crusade
Let us commence the 1st Crusade to take our holy lands back from the Muslims!
During the conquests of another empire, the Muslims had gotten to Spain. The Islamic army was able to conquer most of the land that was surrounded by Aragon, Castile, and Portugal. They tried to conquer the rest of Europe but were stopped when the Christian armies fought back.
The Signing of the Magna Carta
You must sign this document, or else we will rebel!
Eastern and Western Europe disagreed with one another because of their differences. This led to a schism, or split, between the two regions, forming the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
Reconquista
After the Muslims took Jerusalem and the Holy Land, Pope Urban II, with the approval of himself, the 1st Crusade began to take the lost lands back. It was a great success, however, the next crusades after the 1st one were not as successful.
Yeah!!
Woohoo!
King John, faced with a possible rebellion, was forced to sign the Magna Carta. This charter of liberties would place him and the other, future, sovereigns for England in a rule of law. It did not succeed initially, but it was revised and reissued. This new document later acted as the foundation for the English system of common law.
Fine!
The Reconquista was a long string of wars between the Christian Kingdoms and the Muslim Moors. They fought over control of the land the Moors have claimed. The Reconquista lasted from 718 to 1492. After the wars were over, the Jews and Muslims in Spain were forced to become Christian or be kicked out of Spain.
Wow! Spain is so beautiful! We should take it.
Ok!
Hey!
Let's see who wins!
Us, Muslims, will fight you for control of Spain!
