Charlemagne Meme
Charlemagne was king of the Middle Ages in the years of 742-814 A.D. An interesting fact about Charlemagne is that he brought fancy, jeweled swords to banquets. Another interesting fact about Charlemagne is that his favorite food is roasted meat. Charlemagne was buried the same day he died is another interesting fact about Charlemagne. I think that Charlemagne had a positive impact on the Middle Ages because he helped make the feudal system better. Charlemagne made allies and he gave people land, if they gave him loyalty in return. Charlemagne created the system of Feudalism which worked very well.
Castles
Medieval castles protected the people very much. One reason is that invaders were pretty common back then, so the castle provided a nice structure to keep the intruders from coming through the sturdy walls. Another reason why the protected the people from invaders is that the castle was on water, so it would be more difficult for the intruders to reach the castle and try to get inside. A reason that the castle brought protection is that the castle itself is like a maze, and the intruders would never be able to find anybody or anything valuable.
Vikings
The impact that the Vikings had on the feudal system is that Charlemagne raided the Vikings which gave Charlemagne land. Charlemagne had too much land and he didn't know what to do with it. Charlemagne ended up creating feudalism, due to the Viking raiding, which gave him more land to deal with, which then the idea of feudalism came.
