He wrote, "The Divine Comedy". Most books were written in Latin at the time, so instead, he wrote it in Italian. By doing this, he almost single-handedly made Italian a literary language, really impacting the Renaissance. He was a towering figure of European literature.

∙ 12y agoDante may or may not have been part of the Renaissance, depending on your view of what the Renaissance was.
Different historians give different dates for the beginning of the Renaissance, ranging from about 1300 to shortly after 1400. Dante Alighieri lived from 1265 to 1321.
Quite a few historians have Dante as a founder of the Renaissance, along with such others as Giotto di Bondone. If that is your view, then the answer is, "Of course he was part of the Renaissance - he started the Renaissance."
Some give a more specific date of 1401 for the beginning of the Renaissance. That would have the Renaissance start long after he died, so the answer would be "No."
You should probably understand that the Middle Ages did not end until after the Renaissance started, possibly by more than a century. The most widely accepted dates for the end of the Middle Ages are 1453, 1485, and 1492, though other dates are used. Italians tend to use 1401, and Spanish may give a date of 1516. So Dante definitely lived during the Middle Ages, in addition to the Renaissance.

No. The Renaissance (meaning rebirth in French) originated in Italy in the 1300s. The Vikings were around far earlier. The Renaissance centered around the reuse and rebirth of art and literature that focused on non-Christian themes. People started painting scenes from Greek mythology and so on. Artists in the Renaissance included Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael (if you're a Ninja Turtles fan, they're all named for Renaissance artists). The Renaissance also included literature. Some Renaissance writers were Dante (the Divine Comedy, which was important because it was written in Italian not Latin) and Shakespeare (later Renaissance in England).
Is King Edward part of the Renaissance?
There were many king Edwards, all of England, and none in France. The only Edward that can possibly be linked to the renaissance, Edward VI of England, only ruled for 6 years (1547 - 1553) and was underage during his reign. The English renaissance was just starting at that time. Ill leave it up to you to decide whether he was part of the renaissance or not. His reign took place in its era, but he himself did not contribute anything to it.
