  king tried to take control of Frances throne. A
  Frenchmen and an English were claiming that they
  were the rightful king of France. They then went
  to war. England won many key battles until a

  English had caught Joan of Arc and killed her.

Black death
22
Black death

• The black death plague disease originally came
  from central and eastern Asia. Traders
  unknowingly brought rats carrying disease to
  Mediterranean ports. Fleas that fed on infected
  rats passed on the plague to people. And, it
  quickly swept throughout much of Europe.

23
The cause of the plague

• This plague caused perhaps 25 million people
  to die. The survivors of the plague found their
  skills in demand and charged more for their
  labor. Feudalism was starting to not be used
  because the peasants no longer worked for the
  rich, now they had other job opportunities.
