So I'm going to explain the agricultural progress in the medieval Europe. 00:00:00
So before the 11th and 13th century, European farmers had a low production on the land they 00:00:08
worked, because they used a Roman plough, which barely cut into the ground and was pulled 00:00:15
or dragged by oxen held by a yoke. 00:00:22
Also they used a Viennese rotation system, which consists on leaving half the farming 00:00:26
surface fallow. 00:00:33
However, between the 11th and 13th centuries, European farming activities experienced a 00:00:35
strong growth due to the progressive spread of technical innovations. 00:00:44
The most important ones were the Marlborough plough and the Triennial crop rotation. 00:00:51
The Marlborough plough was made of iron and enabled the soil to be turned and aerated. 00:01:02
It was heavier than the Roman plough and they used horses instead of oxen to pull it. 00:01:11
The Triennial crop rotation consisted of dividing the land into three parts. 00:01:19
A rotation was established each year by planting cereals leaving one part fallow. 00:01:27
So this way, only one third of the land was left cultivated. 00:01:33
Other agricultural innovations applied in this period were the use of a collar, metal 00:01:47
instruments and the water mill. 00:02:05
The collar allowed rough animals like the horses to be attached to the plough. 00:02:08
This improved their control and stability to fallow the seeds. 00:02:16
Two examples of metal instruments were the sieve and the metal horse shoes. 00:02:22
The sieve, which made harvesting cereals much easier and the metal horse shoe, which protected 00:02:31
the animal's hooves. 00:02:38
The water mill was perfect because it was much more efficient than the windmill which 00:02:41
had been used until then. 00:02:47
Now the consequences of agricultural progress. 00:02:56
These were all of these developments led to important consequences in the agricultural 00:03:00
not only for the countryside but also for the cities and Adriana is going to explain 00:03:09
all of them. 00:03:13
Adriana, the floor is yours. 00:03:14
So for example, the agricultural production increased. 00:03:16
This improved the nutrition of the population and as a result, Europe experienced strong 00:03:22
population growth, passing from 36 to 18 million people between the 11th and 14th century. 00:03:29
Another example was that the cultivated surface was extended due to the demands of the growing 00:03:41
population. 00:03:48
The forest surrounding the villages were failed to make way for new fields, marches and wetlands 00:03:49
were drained, lands were gained and new and cultivated areas in Eastern Europe were colonized. 00:03:58
Other examples were that cities were revitalized as their populations grew quickly and became 00:04:13
exchange centers for trades and handcrafts. 00:04:27
And finally, local and long-distance trade was reactivated as we can see in the image below. 00:04:33
Exactly, and that's why as a consequence, what happened Adriana? 00:04:41
You want to add something? 00:04:47
No, that's all the agricultural progress in medieval Europe. 00:04:49
That's why, as a consequence, cities emerged due to all of these changes in agriculture 00:04:54
and then in the cities in the late 13th century onwards, which will come the modern age. 00:05:00
You will study next year. 00:05:11
Thank you so much, Adriana. 00:05:12
It was great. 00:05:13
