For example, “The cloth merchant, the stonecutter, the wheelwright, and the carpenter each had himself depicted in a medallion in the lower part of the window donated by his guild, as close as possible, as it were, to future client” as a type of “advertisement” encouraging their own economic growth. The growth of the size of a church or cathedral came from a different, very social, aspect of medieval life. After the construction of a new cathedral the people of a city nearby suddenly felt driven to build something bigger, and better than that of the neighboring cities or even cities that were dozens of miles away. This stemmed from a very primitive desire to break records causing an epidemic of cathedrals to break out across medieval Europe. So not only were the “Bourgeois civic pride, the desire to conquer new worlds, and merchants' vexed souls” all contributing to the success of the cathedral crusade, The Church was also encouraging all of these indulgences of fabric to help build God’s House in fact “the Christian church, by contrast, demanded that her faithful contribute to the constructions of churches large enough for the populace to have access.” From this it is safe to say that this cathedral construction boom originating from very selfish points of trying to outdo their fellow Christians was embraced by the church as a way to gain support, by political figures as a place to meet and discuss and take care of business
(Carr). Very elaborate architecture was used in the making of cathedrals, and much time and effort was put into the construction of them. In medieval times, the extravagent architecture of cathedrals was meant to show the wealth, power, and influence of the church. A great deal of time and money was spent on cathedrals in the Middle Ages. In fact, almost no expense was spared.
The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine has a broad mix of traditional and nontraditional features. Some of the elements it has that are traditional to churches from the Gothic period such as an apse, ambulatory, choir, transept, rose window and nave. Some of the elements of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine that aren’t traditional to Gothic architecture are the aisle chapels or nave chapels and the narthex. Narthexes were originally intended to separate the general congregation from those who had were not allowed inside the nave. This allowed those that were not welcomed into the nave to hear and partake in the services held inside the cathedral.
(figure 1.3). The mismatched corner towers were one of the first things people noticed about this cathedral. The sculptures built into this cathedral were created to embellish architecture. (figure 1.4). They were built in the entryways as a kind of welcoming committee.
The government could not control all these invasions, so this was another component that helped the fall of the Roman Empire. Document 5 shows bias because it blames the fall of the civilization on internal decay. This is significant because if a very well organized government that had been able to keep order throughout such a large empire could no longer do it, then this meant nobody else could. All of these political
In theological terms the Central Middle Ages (from 11th Century) are the most interesting, as earlier periods placed greater emphasis on spreading the Christian message throughout Europe. Nonetheless, Europe was not fully Christian until the 15th Century (Lithuania being the last to convert) and by then Turkish rulers were inspiring many South Europeans (especially in Bosnia) to convert from Orthodox Christianity to Islam. The political background to this period is one of reasonable homogeneity. Europe was seen as one large country with numerous local rulers. Travelling to a foreign land was a dangerous business, but so was travelling ten miles to the next village.
Some historians say that it is unfair to call Haig the “Butcher of the Somme”. The say this because Haig had untrained men which meant they were not used to fighting which made them vulnerable to the experienced German soldiers. It is also not his fault that the shells didn’t always explode and that they didn’t weaken the Germans as much it should’ve. Also the English walked over no mans instead of running which mad them easy targets. The generals in charge were commanding division for the first time.
As England was probably the least violent country at the time in Europe and treason trials and execution were very rare. One serious problem that was evident when Charles took over the country was the religious tensions. This was a serious problem as Roman Catholism was seen as evil but there was also a wide range of differences with the protestant religion as well. Although it was the Catholic religion that was most hated the puritans disliked the Anglicans causing much resentment of different views throughout the country. This made enforcing any policy on the Church as hard and this was a serious underlying problem that was obvious when Charles came to power in 1625.
Nazi attempts to control German churches had limited success the years 1933 to 1945. The Nazis attempts at controlling the churches did have limited success because all through the years 1933-45 90% of the population remained which meant that the people of Germany were still strong believes in religion and would follow it a lot more than the Nazi party this is shown the propaganda trying to make Hitler the countries messiah this had no success this shows that Nazi party did not succeed in controlling the church. However the Nazi regime did have success in controlling the church as they removed them from power of schools which intern means they have power to control what they do also with the church not in control of the church they
