THE CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE AGES I, GROUP MEMBERS: Nicole Belliard (21-0395)…
THE CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE AGES I
Power
Measures
The church's power was based on its ability to impose measures against the reigns or ambitions of any contemporary ruler.
Frederick I Barbarossa
Cooperator
He was one of the few rulers who were able to resist the church by cooperating with it, which was a decision that suited his wealth.
Connections
Kings
As a king, to have connections or a good relation with the church meant a chance to tap in their wealth and also ensured that you had their support in case of a civil strife.
Art
Style
The Pre-Romanesque (the first style to emerge) was influenced by early Christian artwork.
Henry IV
Challenger
Henry IV was one of the many monarchs that tried to control the church (Gregorian Papacy in his case) and ended up involved in church fomented civil wars and severely humiliated.
The Franks
Ally
The Franks and the Catholic church had an alliance that resulted beneficial for both of them when the Franks conquered what remained of Christian Western Europe.
Music
Polyphony
The church unified the European and Gregorian chant traditions, which led to the development of the organum/ polyphony, thanks to the monks.
Education
Supreme
The church's role as the primary source of education allowed medieval literature to focus on religious themes.
Bishops
Rulers
When the bishops added to their roles the responsibilities of the regional imperial governors, they became more than just religious figureheads: they became rulers and commanders with legal and military powers.
Conflicts
God's will
In the Middle Ages, when inter-Christian conflicts happened, the winning side was thought to be in God's favor while the losers were suffering his wrath.
