Richard I and John's Reigns

Richard I, known as the Lionheart, established his reputation as a warrior king deeply committed to crusading ideals. His reign was marked by extended absences from England while pursuing military campaigns abroad.

Quote: "Richard was known as Coeur de Lion LionheartLionheart and gained reputation as a great warrior king who showed Christian duty by going on crusade."

John's reign presented a stark contrast to his brother's. Following King John's defeat, his authority was increasingly challenged by both domestic and foreign powers.

Highlight: John's murder of Arthur of Brittany violated the chivalric code and turned many barons against him.

Government and Finance

The governmental system under both kings focused on maintaining order and collecting various taxes to fund military campaigns and royal expenses.

Definition: Scutage was a payment made in lieu of military service, particularly controversial during John's reign.

Example: The Thirteenth tax, based on goods and income, proved extremely unpopular and was only collected once.

Vocabulary: Royal demesne - lands directly owned and managed by the crown.

Highlight: John's appointment of "new men" as advisers instead of traditional barons contributed significantly to his unpopularity.

The Feudal System and Church Structure

The feudal system formed the backbone of medieval English society, establishing a clear hierarchy based on land ownership and service obligations. The king owned all land and distributed it to tenants-in-chief, who in turn provided knights and peasants with land for military and agricultural service.

Definition: The feudal system was a social structure where land was held in exchange for military service and labor.

Example: A baron would receive land from the king and provide knights for military service, while peasants worked the land in exchange for protection and the right to farm.

The Church wielded immense power during this period, controlling approximately 20% of England's land and maintaining spiritual authority over all social classes.

Highlight: Even kings were subject to papal authority, demonstrating the Church's supreme position in medieval society.

Vocabulary: Fealty - an oath of loyalty sworn by vassals to their lords in exchange for land and protection.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
