Where did they use to bury people in the middle ages?
The medieval burial sites I have seen were all in church yards. I am sure there were others, but people would have wanted to be buried in sacred ground, all over Europe, so I would guess church yards would have been most common.
How was power used and abused during the Middle Ages?
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.
How important were images of heaven and hell in the middle-ages?
In the middle ages people could not read or write, so they would look at pictures instead to understand the story of the bible. Since this was the only religeon, people had to stick with it or they would be threatened by the pope, the leader of the church, that they had to follow it. The pictures of Hell were so frightning that the people did not dare to commit a sin.
Why did the church become powerful during the Middle Ages?
My own understanding, and answer to this matter, would be because the church held exclusive access to the text of Christianity, and allowed only certain people to interpret the bible. With that it caused people to fear it, and fear opposing the church. This fear of opposition was supported by the nobility in order to subdue and control the population.
What institution had complete control over the lives of people in the Middle Ages?
No institution had complete control over the lives of people of the Middle Ages. I know there are a lot of people who would like to answer that the Catholic Church did, but a look at the history of the time shows that the Catholic Church was subject to interference from hostile kings and emperors, internal divisions, and even powerful heretical groups that occasionally controlled whole territories. At the beginning of the Middle Ages, most of Europe was pagan, and before the pagans were converted, the Catholic Church had already broken up into the Roman Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox. This is not to say the Church had no power. It was very powerful. But it did not have anything even close to complete control.
What was ''the church'' in the Middle Ages?
Churches were similar to those seen today except the type of architecture would be different depending on where the church was located. The church would have been the center of town life and the ultimate authority in the lives of the people in the middle ages. Religion would play a big role in the music and art of the time period as well.
