LYRICS BELOW - Here's the MERCH!: https://www.bonfire.com/store/mr-nick... The Middle Ages song by Mr. Nicky To the tune of "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd ft. Gucci Mane Backing track property of Karaoke Version/Tency Music. As Rome was finally caving with northerners invading Around 500 AD The Middle Ages (wow, it's medieval) "Dark Ages" for European people and the times were medieval Saints, churches and Gothic cathedrals (cathedrals) Monks learning in monasteries (we study!) Pope Urban II's Crusaders ridding Seljuk Turks from the land that's holy (it's holy!) Vassals pledging lords their allegiance had serfs that worked on their fiefdoms (it's feudal) It's a system of feudalism Kings give the nobles land to keep the peace and defend them Taking oaths of homage and fealty Knights follow a Code of Chivalry Like Roland did during the reign Of Charles the Great - Charlemagne Charlemagne, the Frankish conqueror crowned Holy Roman Emperor made Saxons be Christian built a school in Aachen for education to flourish, unifying Europe He's a "founding father" like his grandpa Charles Martel, "The Hammer", defended Gaul, at Tours he held the Muslim Moors off Too bad the Frankish Kingdom got divided by his great grandson, Louis the Pious Then Northmen from Scandinavia (we're Norsemen) plundered and founded Normandy (we're Vikings!) absorbed French language and culture, crossed the English Channel to win at Hastings (The 60's) William led that invasion The Conqueror, King of England (bye Harold!) His Normans and the Saxons mixed language, now that's what I'm speaking (in English) Back then you peasant serfs needed to mind your manors Your crops were the lord's, and you'd never be land owners just like King John would tax unfairly and demand more His vassals couldn't (sic) stand it no more In 1215 they made him sign a "Great Charter" It would protect their rights, known as the Magna Carta Inspiring governments from India to America with equal rights, fair trial, and the rule of law It's good thing, 'cause Europe's such a small continent With kingdoms cramped up like nuns in a convent Crusades open doors to Eastern goods and trade spreads but bring home rats with fleas and the bubonic plague spreads The Black Death lowered Europe's population Over one-third died of The Great Plague God's anger was thought to be reason They'd persecute the Jews like they did in the Crusades and Eastern Orthodox Christians with no pope since the Great Schism Really ("eventually" in the case of the first crusades- a good topic for discussion!) hated what the Crusades did Like the Muslims getting driven out of Spain- Reconquista But to get into the Iberian Peninsula You'll have to cross the Pyrenees or go on a Mediterranean Sea tour These mountain chains keep European regions separated The Caucasus and Ural ranges block them off from Asia But their rivers, fjords and waterways enable trading to grow their wheat they cleared the trees out, that's deforestation and you know how fertile the North European plain is with temperate Atlantic air, the climate makes for good vacations It's a rich continent, but to leave the Dark Ages They'll need a "Renaissance", and a church "Reformation" Saints, churches and Gothic cathedrals (cathedrals) Monks learning in monasteries (make copies!) Pope Urban II's crusaders Taking back Jerusalem with the Byzantines (Byzantines) Vassals pledging lords their allegiance had serfs that worked on their fiefdoms (it's feudal) It's a system of feudalism Kings give the nobles land to keep the peace and defend them
