How did medieval people keep their houses warm?
Answer:They most likely used a fireplace. they used fireplaces and chimneys to heat there houses and cook.Answer:Most people in the Middle Ages did not heat their houses with what we would call fireplaces because the chimney was not invented until the 11th or 12th century, and was too expensive for any but the wealthy for a long time after that. Most people dressed heavily and heated their houses with free standing fires on hearths that sat on dirt floors. The smoke was vented through a hole in the roof or high on the walls under the peaks of the roof. Some people had what are called hanging chimneys or smoke canopies to guide the smoke. In the homes of the wealthy, where the floors were likely to be wood or tile, braziers were used, and the holes in the roof were more elaborately set up so rain would not come in.
What was the serf's house made of?
Serf's houses were built very inexpensively, by the serfs themselves. The roof was usually thatched, made from bundles of straw or reeds, or it could be made of slate or wooden shingles, depending on what was easiest to get. The walls were usually made of timbers, rather widely set, with the open areas filled with wattle and daub (woven reeds and mud), or with rubble filled with mud. If there were a lot of small rocks around, these could be used to build a rough stone house. If inexpensive timber was available, wood could be used for siding. In cold areas, log cabins were used. The floor was normally dirt. The hearth was either stone, tile, or just dirt. There were no chimneys until the 11th or 12th centuries, and serfs could not afford them when they came into use. So there was some sort of hole in the roof or under the roof peaks to let smoke out. The windows were typically shuttered, but not glazed. The doors were often very light.
What was the relationship between Muslims and Christians in Spain in the middle ages?
They permanently turned the tables. The crusades followed 400 years of Islamic conquest, in which 2/3 of the traditional Christian territories were taken over by Muslim rulers. The Christians were terrified, and the Muslims were confident of taking over the whole of Christendom eventually. In the 200 years of crusading, the Christians won some of the battles. They realised that it was not inevitable that Islam would take over the world, and they had a decent chance of driving back the aggressor. The Muslims also became somewhat frightened of the Christians, as they realised that their victory was not certain. By the time the crusades ended, there was a mutual bitterness between the two faiths. Each side exaggerated the cruelties inflicted by the other and taught their children that the other group was murderous, dangerous, untrustworthy, etc. The events of the next 800 years did little to allay anyone's suspicions. The Spaniards finally drove the Muslims out of Spain by about 1500, by which time the Muslims had lived there so long that they felt it was their home and that the Spanish bloodbath was completely unjustified. The Muslims made further efforts to conquer parts of Europe; although they were unsuccessful, the Europeans inferred they had a permanent conquest agenda.
