Unit 16: France in the Middle Ages
[dropcap type=”box”]“Papal power was widespread in the thirteenth century. The pope was the spiritual head of the Church. He was also leader over world leaders. He was supreme head in Italy… The countries of Europe wanted change. They wanted independence from the Church… The king grew in power, and he needed money for his own purposes. Since there were no taxes, kings often obtained money through their power.” – The Story of Europe, H.E. Marshall
At this time, there was a conflict over the right to the throne of France. “This conflict over the right to the throne was one of the causes of the Hundred Years’ War. This war actually lasted a hundred and seventeen years. It affected both England and France. It is known as one of the great events of the Middle Ages. It lasted through five French kings and five English kings.” – The Story of Europe, H.E. Marshall
