The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past

Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What happened at the Battle of Woeringen?
Where was the political orientation of Brabant aimed towards?
- Brabant, with its original base far to the south in Leuven and Brussels, was, as a power, a relative latecomer to the territory of what is now the Netherlands, and in its politics remained oriented in other directions: toward its opponents eastward in Germany, and westward in its rivalry with Flanders.
- Its assertive duke, Hendrik I, did not exercise control over most areas of northern Brabant until around 1200. From this time on, though, the dukes of Brabant were keen to expand their influence over territories along the wealth-generating Rhine and Maas.
Who was Jan I and what did he do?
- Brabant's signature duke was Jan I (1267-1294), a magnetic and energetic personality who inspired epic poems. He was the first to build up an alluring court culture in Brabant.
- He linked his dynastic ambitions with the success of Brabant's cities and their economic interests, giving them many privileges in exchange for a generous portion of their rising incomes and their willingness to finance his military campaigns.
What did Floris V do? What did he conquer?
- A near contemporary of Jan was Holland's most famous count, Floris V (1256-1296). Only two years old at the time of his father's death, it took Floris some time before he was successful in securing his own county and in launching military and diplomatic initiatives from his new county seat at The Hague.
- By 1289 he had decisively conquered West Friesland, putting all territory west of the Zuyder Zee under Holland's control.
What mistake did Floris V make? How did it end for him?
- For a long time an ally of England against France for reasons of trade, Floris suddenly joined hands with France in 1296, in the hope of obtaining better support for his longstanding efforts to wrest the Zeeland islands from another adversary, Flanders.
- This was too much for Floris's internal enemies - Holland nobles who had lost power under the count - who kidnapped him. Floris was killed by his captors when local farmers attempted to rescue him, sending the county into chaos.
