Medieval Legacies & The Renaissance

14th Century Europe Defined by a class system: A Hierarchy of people in a society determined by economic, political, and cultural traits. What is a hierarchy? Examples? Economic- Money, Trade, and business Political-Government, officials, policies, laws, right elections Cultural- Social Values, beliefs, norms, traditions, practices The four main groups in medieval Europe were Nobles Clergy Merchants Peasants

Nobles Ran GOV/military. Titles were hereditary. Passed down from generations. Had most political power Ran large farming estates. Had little economic power. Upper Class (elites) w/ little education.

Clergy Ran Catholic Church. Used in GOV as advisors. Had most spiritual power. Ran large farming estates. Had little economic power. Fluid group (in all levels of society) & highly educated.

Merchants Used in GOV as advisors. Held little political power. Controlled trade, banking, markets. Had most economic power. Middle Class (not poor, but no titles). Highly educated & cultured.

Peasants Had no power & no rights. Controlled by nobility & clergy. Worked on farming estates for little or no pay. Had most economic power. Lower Class w/ no education. Tied to the land & often rioted/revolted.

Religion of 14th Century Europe 14th Century Europe was defined by religion What were the four main religions of 14th Century Europe?

The Renaissance 1330-1530 A time of rebirth in the study of Greek and Roman Culture, art, architecture, literature, and learning Began in Italy after the Black Death Ended Medieval Era & began Modern era Focused more on humanity than religion

Why Italy? Italy was divided into city-states: Independent city controlling its surrounding land A variety of artistic thought & expression from each A lack of common defense against outside forces Each City-State was ran by ULTRA wealthy merchants and bankers Focused on trade, luxurious living, and art Money attracted artists and scholars Merchants paid for artists work Merchants gained their wealth from the Spice Trade: The trade of luxury goods between Europe and Asia Spices, Silk, Perfumes Items moved from Asia to Italy where they were stored before being sent to the rest of Europe Why Italy? Italians discovered Greco-Roman writings Greek Scholars fled to Italy after the invasion of the Ottoman Empire Greco Roman culture was something old that became cool again

A New Way of Life Italian Merchants and intellectuals created three new principles that defined the Renaissance and acted as guidelines in Philosophy, art, architecture, and literature Humanism-Study and focus on human potential, glory, and understanding by modeling Classical Culture Acted as a curriculum for educating elite sons Study Rhetoric, arithmetic, grammar, geometry & Astronomy Education could develop a mans limitless potential Individualism- The study and focus on humans as individuals, developing all aspects of one’s life Personal success over community Once educated through Humanism a man should seek greatness Secularism- Study of and focus on the material world more than spiritual world Living in the here and now as well as you can Enjoy the benefits of success Often led to greed and corruption
