1. Who are the Mongols?

The Mongols are a group of people that come from Mongolia and that started the Black Death by catapulting severed heads over castle walls. In China and in the Middle East, the Mongols attacked and invaded villages, towns, and manors. The Mongols controlled land when they were at their largest. The Mongols are important to Europe because when the Mongols attacked, the European rulers forgot their disagreements and joined together to defend against the attacking Mongols.

The Black Death affected the Feudal System because a lot of knights and peasants (and others) were dying so they started demanding pay for work because if there wasnt a lot of people to do work, the peasants and knights could say no if they wanted to be paid. This created what today is called the middle class.
