Major and Minor Scales
Monastism developed by the medieval church
As Europe gradually emerged from the destruction of the Roman Empire, the church became one of the mainstays of civilization. During the pontificate of Gregory I the Great (590-604), the medieval papacy began to assert its authority. Gregory's achievement was to go beyond the claim of papal primacy in the church by beginning to establish the temporal power of the papacy.
Interestingly, medieval weddings did not usually happen in church. In fact, it was not until about 100 years after the middle ages was over that church marriage became required. During the Middle Ages, marriages consisted of vows between a man and a woman, usually done in private, without benefit of clergy, and without need for witnesses. If the marriage was consummated, then it was legal. If it was not consummated, it was still difficult to get out of. It could be registered with a church, but that was not necessary. I have to smile at this question. Medieval women got married in precisely the same places medieval men did, of course.
The medieval church used its religious power to manipulate people into thinking that if they did not do what the church mandated, they would go to hell. The church took advantage of the superstitious people and medieval kings and used its religious power to take over the world. Power in the middle ages was used and abused the same as it is today - the rich and powerful do as they want, and the lesser people get trampled on.
In the Middle Ages, royalty had access to aspects of the Church to which the peasants did not have. For example, many monarchs had a priest who acted as the monarch's personal confessor.
