Part I: In The Time of the Prophet (saws) Chapter 1 (The Boy) Page 1 ?The best of you in Jahiliyyah are the best of you in Islam, as long as they have understanding.? [Prophet Muhammad (SAWS)]1 Khalid and the tall boy glared at each other. Slowly they began to move in a circle, the gaze of each fixed intently upon the other, each looking for an opening for his attack and each wary of the tricks that the other might use. There was no hostility in their eyes-just a keen rivalry and an unshakeable determination to win. And Khalid found it necessary to be cautious, for the tall boy was left-handed and thus enjoyed the advantage that all left- handers have over their opponents in a fight. Wrestling was a popular pastime among the boys of Arabia, and they frequently fought

Black death

I. The Black Death (1347) A. Causes: 1. Bubonic plague was carried by fleas on Asian black rats and brought to Europe on ships returning from Asia 2. Overcrowding in cities and homes facilitated the spread of the disease Many aristocratic families slept in one room and many prosperous peasant families slept in one bed for warmth; less prosperous peasants were even worse off 3. Poor sanitation in cities: garbage-filled streets, human excrement, and dead animals 4. Widespread malnutrition prior to the plague led to poor health (e.g. lower immune systems) that made people more susceptible to the disease 25% harvests in early 14th century were poor as torrential rains destroyed wheat, oats, and hay crops; some instances of cannibalism occurred

Pope Gregory VIII (1073-1085) , was an main influence in the papal reform movement of the eleventh century, often called the Gregorian reform movement. He was the first pope to emphasize the political authority of the papacy. His belief that kings had failed to promote reform in church prompted him to claim a role in the politics of Western Christendom. Gregory insisted on the freedom of the church, meaning the end of Lay investiture, the selection and appointment of church officials by secular authority. They believed that churchmen must be free form the control and interference of laypeople.

From the 8th century on, feudalism developed and thrived in Western Europe and Japan. Though both Japan and Western Europe both focused on the same type of government, there were a few major differences between the two versions, causing European feudalism to stand out more so today and Japanese feudalism to fall into the background. Both Western European and Japanese feudalism were similar in that fact that they both developed for protection for themselves. They are also similar in ways, politically, socially, and economically. In Japan and Western Europe, politically they both have a strict system, but Western Europe had some more demanding points and rule. Both have to give up a portion of their crops.

Monarchy
The Hundred Years' War (French: Guerre de Cent Ans) was a series of separate wars lasting from 1337 to 1453 between two royal houses for the French throne, which was vacant with the extinction of the senior Capetian line of French kings. The two primary contenders were the House of Valois and the House of Plantagenet, also known as the House of Anjou. The House of Valois claimed the title of King of France, while the Plantagenets from England claimed to be Kings of France and England. Plantagenet Kings were the 12th century rulers of the Kingdom of England, and had their roots in the French regions of Anjou and Normandy.
