Middle Ages re-test

Hello,

The test today could have been better, you did not expect this kind of questions. So, just to help you to review the contents, here you have the presentation we have used:

You also should review the training we did: https://5cm1718.blogspot.com.es/2018/02/to-help-you-to-review-for-exam.html

Remember, I want you to think and explain what happened, memorizing dates and names without connection is useless. On Friday you will have to explain in writing what you know about the Middle Ages (when the different civilitations arrived at the Iberian Peninsula, what they did here, what is their legacy and their art style and other curiosuties you know).
