It depends who you mean by "they".

Potatoes are native to the Americas and were not available in Europe until long after 1492, when the Middle Ages had ended. Native Americans had both sweet potatoes and standard potatoes, but just like tobacco neither of these were seen in Europe until the Renaissance era - the beginning of modern times.

In roman history, the poor/lower class (the lower class was called plebians, as a little vocab for you) ate stale, old bread, and relish. Relish for plebians isn't like the relish we have today. Their relish was pretty much left over slop, and food.

Yuck.

Kings sometimes lost power by alienating their vassals to the point of rebellion. King John of England had this happen to him. When they stood their ground against him, he signed the Magna Carta to stay in power. Another king who lost power to rebellious lords was Richard III; in his case, he died in battle.

Kings lost power by getting into arguments with the popes, or sometimes with bishops. King Henry II of England had this happen, as did Emperor Henry IV of the Holy Roman Empire. In both cases, the monarchs were very powerful, tried to grab power from the Church, and lost a great deal of the power they had.

Some kings were overthrown by family members. King Edward II of England is an example; his wife and her lover imprisoned him and are widely believed to have killed him.

Some kings were overthrown by other people. This happened when Pepin the Short overthrew Childeric III and became King of the Franks.

A king could lose a war with a foreign enemy. When King Edward II of England fought against the Scots and lost, it did not cost him any part of England, but it meant that the King of Scotland was no longer his vassal.

during the renaissance people expressed new idea's in a whole bunch of different subjects. Art expressed idea's that never had been shown or maybe even never thought of. That changed Europe from being the country who follows "the book"

to a free thinking fun place.

it spread humanism through the use of propaganda

Since the Catholic church and papacy were very dominant in Europe during this time, the production of secular material (such as the mentioned propaganda) caused conflict between the church and the press. However, positive impact wise, it did increase the spread of knowledge throughout Europe and lead to the establishment of the first printing house in England.

Just to let y'all know, this answer is correct because I got it out of my social studies book. The sources that inspired the Renaissance artists and scholars was human life, and they used perspective. Perspective is a way of showing the depth and distance on a flat surface. I hope this was resourceful!:)

Nobody coined the term "Renaissance." Renaissance is an actual part of the French language. It literally means "rebirth."

BTW I don't speak French, but this is common knowledge for anyone studying European History.

The Renaissance began in Italy for a variety of reasons.

RUINS OF ANCIENT ROME: Throughout Italy their were ruins of ancient Rome like art and architecture. The ruins remind Romans about their glorious past.

CITY-STATES: At this time Italy was made up of many states and wasn't a single country some of the most important were Florence, Milan, Venice and Genoa. These states competed in who had the best art and buildings.

WEALTH OF ITALIAN CITIES: During the middle ages, Italy was the centre of trade in Europe. Merchants brought silk and spices from Asia and they became rich. Ideas and knowledge came with them. They used the knowledge to become patrons of the art.

FALL OF CONSTANTINOPLE: Constantinople (now Istanbul) was the capital of the eastern Roman empire. Scholars in this city kept learning of Greece and Rome alive. Scholars came to Italy and Italians went to Constantinople to learn from their manuscripts. Ottoman Turks threatened their city for many years before capturing it in 1453. Before it was captured, many scholars went to Italy and took their manuscripts with them.

INVENTION OF THE PRINTING-PRESS: Copying manuscripts was slow and expensive. In the fifteenth century was invented. Now the learning of Greece and Rome could spread more rapidly through Europe.

By the fourteenth century much of northern Italy was extremely wealthy. It was a great trade area that sold woolen cloth which sold rapidly. Florence was a major trading city. Positioned near the sea for trade and safe from pirates.cities of Genoa, Venice and Milan also lay on important European trade routes.

The Renaissance is thought of as beginning in Florence, Venice, and other Italian cities, with various historians dating the beginning as early as the late 13th century or as late as about 1350 or 1400. All of these dates place it before the invention of the printing press or the fall of Constantinople, and the earlier ones make the Late Middle Ages coincidental with the first have of the Renaissance.

There were a number of contributory factors, one of which was that the cities in which the Renaissance began were republican city states, which put middle class people in power, rather than the nobility, and these were people who saw a constant need to improve and advertise their importance.

Another cause was that Italy was a focus for shipping in southern Europe, making the merchants there very wealthy.

Another cause was the destruction of the Knights Templar, who had run a very effective system for storage and transportation of money. This produced a financial vacuum in which powerful merchant families could build banking empires with no national boundaries.

Also, Italy had been the center of the Roman Empire. Italy's cities had become very wealthy. The region was still divided into many small city-states.
