    Sounds like you're asking for help with your homework. I'm not going to "discuss" them for you (you should read up on them and do it yourself), but since Medieval History is an interest of mine... here are four things for you to look in to:

    The rise of strong monarchies in France and the German Empire

    The Black Death

    The "Great Schism" and disputed papal elections

    The "Babylonian Captivity", where the papacy moved from Rome to Avignon
