Events

  • 1095 : Council of Clermont. Beginning of the First crusade.

  • 1099 : Catch of Jerusalem by the cross .
    • the success of the call of Clermont exceeds the hopes of the pope and appears not easily explainable. The evolution of the material condition and the chivalrous ideal during the 11th century has to support the repercussion of it by creating a state of availability. The departure in the East is a means of freeing itself from the constraint of chalk-lining, in a time when the movement of vassalic peaces and the tightening of the bonds limit the occasions of adventure. The crusade carries out the fusion of the feudal spirit and the Christian precepts (the knight realizes with the service of Christ and the Church its duty vassalic).
    • Made of feudal quotas walking on separately, encumbered of noncombatants, the crusade does not answer the desire of the pope who would have liked linked it under the direction of a legate and a laic chief. She answers even less the wishes of Alexis Ier Comnène, which had triumphed over the Petchenègues, had gotten rid of the emir of Smyrna, Zachas, and maintains peaceful relationship with the Saljûqides of Rum. The arrival of the crusade poses with the Empire problems of supply and monitoring. However Alexis had made prepare provisioning and assured with the crusaders whom it would facilitate their passage provided that they respect their engagements of peace.

Significant characters

Inventions, discoveries, introductions

  • the use of the writing is spread in Hungary under the reign of Koloman, under the influence of the Université of Paris, where will study many Hungarian clerks. Drafting of chronicles, gestures, codex and many charters.

Economy & company

  • After the conquest almoravide, the Moslem Spain is integrated into a vast unit which makes it take part directly in the African trade. Dinars struck by tributary Almoravides in Spain.

  • Almoravides support the development of Islam. The intransigence of the doctors Malikite S vis-a-vis the Christian world replaces a long tradition of coexistence.
  • At the time of the First crusade, like writes it Guibert de Nogent, the desire to leave is so large that the crusaders sell all their goods, thus causing a catastrophic fall of price. To get money, the barons sell their grounds or engage them near the ecclesiastical communities. The ecclesiastical property increases and the money supply in circulation increases with the detriment of the liquidities up to that point thesaurized.

  • the cohabitation of the clerks is condemned to the synod of Clermont-Ferrand.

  • the first Guilds or charities appear at the end of the 11th century in Flanders and are spread in the Rhenish area, in England and in the Paris basin. These associations of mutual help between merchants, who are in the beginning religious and charitable, become professional bodies organizing of the caravans, gathering capital, installing in foreign cities a consul charged to defend their nationals.
