    There were many more jobs than I expected to find during this period. Some of the jobs I have never even heard of before, or had other names for trades than we do today, such as the milliner was basically a tailor. Unlike the tailor, however, the milliner was selling accessories as well as clothes but didn’t sell any fabric to customers. Being a cooper meant that you would be making barrel containers ranging in various sizes and tightness of wood to hold things ranging from liquids to flour. The barrels they crafted look very similar to the wine barrels we use today to ferment wine.…

    Henry IV: Lay Investiture

    In the 11th century Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII were locked in a battle over the controversial conflict, Lay Investiture. Lay Investiture was the ability to appoint church officials, and before Pope Gregory VII the kings always had the power of Lay Investiture, however, the Pope believed that the king should not have any power in picking church officials, and so the conflict began. In light of this incident it was unclear who had more power, however, in my opinion the king should possess more power as the king had the divine right to rule. As in the letter to the Pope: “Henry, king not by usurpation, but by the holy ordination of God,” (Henry IV,pg. 76). Henry IV, as said in the letter had the divine right to rule, the Pope did not have the…

    In the 1600’s, religion played an important part in the European society. Many people had monarchs ruling over them because of their religious beliefs. The worst part is the people were to be expected to have the same religious beliefs as the king. Only to see them suffer in consequences if not followed by the ruler or king. Soon after colonists had taken over America the religious people had an opportunity or chance to flee to a better place.…

    of Rome . The creation of this new empire also further distanced the Byzantine Empire and church from the west, giving power of much of Europe solely to the Catholic church. By later in the 10th century, however, the church had lost a substantial portion of its power. Many officials in the church were being elected by political leaders. This resulted in a corrupt and secularized church, as many of the officials elected by the political leaders obtained the positions as favours.…

    Medieval Europe as a society greatly shunned deviations from cultural norms or established religious orthodoxy. From this denouncement, persecution of minority groups was commonplace, and possibly even a defining trait of European society at the time. Notably, mistreatment of Jewish communities and supposed Christian heresies were the more common forms of religious persecution. Furthermore, even Christians could be subject to persecution, if certain individuals were accused of breaking ethical standards. Likely causes to these recurring instances of persecution may have stemmed from the lack of diversity, as well as the influential religious authority of the Catholic Church.…

    The Church had separate trials and punishments to those of the monarch’s, any member of the Church who committed a crime would be judged in the Church court.

    Politics and the Wars of Religion By: Phillip Ableidinger, Jin Johnson, and Matthew Kellen “Discuss the relationship between politics and religion by examining the wars of religion. Choose three specific examples from the following: the Dutch Revolt, the French wars of religion, the English Civil war, and the Thirty Years’ war.” Politics and religion have for long been two sides of the same coin. Although it’s easy to dismiss their relationship as desultory or ineffectual, it has jointly wielded considerable power on the geopolitical stage; perhaps even single handedly changing the course of modern European history. The partnership between church and state cannot be understated, having been the main cause of power-struggles, societal collapse and power shifts throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.…

    Another example of religion being an integral part of politics is when Alexios I Komnenos, the Byzantine emperor, asked the pope, Urban II, to help conquer Asia Minor back from the Turks. This shows that the temporal authority consults the spiritual authority for political matters. The Pope called for an armed pilgrimage: “On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ 's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it” (Urban…
