How did the steps taken by England and France contribute to the first stirrings of democracy in medieval Europe?

2. 14.4 Reading Quiz

3. 14.4 Review:  Bubonic Plague and Hundred Years War
The 1300s were filled with disasters, both natural and human-made.  The Church seemed to be thriving but soon would face a huge division.  A deadly epidemic claimed millions of lives.  So many people died in the epidemic that the structure of the economy changed.  Claims to thrones in France and England led to wars in those lands.  The wars would result in changes in the governments of both France and England.  By the end of the century, the medieval way of life was beginning to disappear.  

HW=Ch 4 Essay test on Day 3
Prompt:  Tell me the story of the Dark Ages and these specific events or people lead Europe to a new era.
