What is the name of the era after the Middle Ages?

The next age after the Middle Ages was the Renaissance or Early Modern Age. There is a bit of overlap between the two, as the Renaissance is taken as beginning about 1350 and the Middle Ages ending about 1450 or so.


What year did the Middle Ages end?

The Middle Ages Ended 1500 A.D.-----Though 1453 is the most commonly used date for the end of the Middle Ages, different historians give different dates. Included among them are the following:1401, when the contract for the north doors in the Florence Baptistery was awarded. This date is sometimes used in Italy.Some time around 1440 to 1455, varying by author, the date Gutenberg invented movable type.1453, when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks and the Hundred Years' War ended. This is clearly the most commonly used.1485, the date of the Battle of Bosworth Field, which ended the Wars of the Roses and established the Tudor dynasty. This date is often used in the UK.1492, the date Columbus sailed and Grenada fell to the Spanish, ending Muslim governments in Spain.1516, the date of the death of King Ferdinand II of Spain. This date is commonly used in Spain.I have also seen 1517, the date Martin Luther posted his Ninety-Five Theses, suggested, along with other dates.Some historians resolve the issue by refusing to give a date, instead using the 15th century as a general time of the end of the Middle Ages. The year 1500 is also convenient, as it marks the end of a century.There is a link below.


The period of Catholic revival beginning with the Council of Trent and ending at the close of the Thirty Years' War was known as?

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic historians refer to this as the Catholic Reform. Secular and protestant historians refer to is as the Counter-Reformation. .fromA Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957The Counter-Reformation is the name given to the Catholic movement of reform and activity which lasted for about one hundred years from the beginning of the Council of Trent (q.v., 1545), and was the belated answer to the threatening confusion and increasing attacks of the previous years. It was the work principally of the Popes St. Pius V and Gregory XIII and the Council itself in the sphere of authority, of SS. Philip Neri and Charles Borromeo in the reform of the clergy and of life, of St. Ignatius and the Jesuits in apostolic activity of St. Francis Xavier in foreign missions, and of St. Teresa in the purely contemplative life which lies behind them all. But these were not the only names nor was it a movement of a few only; the whole Church emerged from the 15th century purified and revivified. On the other hand, it was a reformation rather than a restoration; the unity of western Christendom was destroyed; the Church militant (those still on earth) led by the Company of Jesus adopted offence as the best means of defence and, though she gained as much as she lost in some sense, the Church did not recover the exercise of her former spiritual supremacy in actuality.fromModern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980A period of Catholic revival from 1522 to about 1648, better know as the Catholic Reform. It was an effort to stem the tide of Protestantism by genuine reform within the Catholic Church. There were political movements pressured by civil rules, and ecclesiastical movements carried out by churchmen in an attempt to restore genuine Catholic life by establishing new religious orders such as the Society of Jesus and restoring old orders to their original observances, such as the Carmelites under St. Teresa of Avila (1515-98). The main factors responsible for the Counter Reformation, however, were the papacy and the council of Trent (1545-63). Among church leaders St. Charles Borromeo (1538-84), Archbishop of Milan, enforced the reforms decreed by the council, and St. Francis de Sales of Geneva (1567-1622) spent his best energies in restoring genuine Catholic doctrine and piety. Among civil rulers sponsoring the needed reform were Philip II of Spain (1527-98) and Mary Tudor (1516-58), his wife, in England. Unfortunately this aspect of the reformation led to embitterment between England and Scotland, England and Spain, Poland and Sweden, and to almost two centuries of religious wars. As a result of the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church became stronger in her institutional structure, more dedicated to the work of evangelization, and more influential in world affairs.
