How can the kings of the middle ages lose power?
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.
Bernini used the pyramid configuration to create figures that had more stability and harmony.
What was the effect of Renaissance on Art literature?
Authors focused a little bit on feelings in literature, and emotions. They had human -like subjects. The invention of the printing press helped encourage people the read literature and authors to gain fame. the literature was a change from the old, and very different because of the information of different cultures from the crusaders.
hope that helps a bit.
No you are wrong. George W. Bush sent a execution order to burn every book in the county. Thus creating a rebelion amounst the shakespeare clans of the land dwellers. This war continues today in the underground railroad
What rights did women have in 16th century?
They had very few rights, compared to today. They were legally the property of their father or husband, and only the most wealthy upper-class women had the freedom to study or to travel. Upper-class women might have a private tutor, or they might attend one of the newly-established girls' schools, where they learned music, the arts, literature, religion, and basic mathematics. But again, the right to attend such a school was contingent on the father or other male members of the household approving of the idea; and no universities in Europe would have accepted a female student at that time. Many upper-class women had some business training so that they could effectively run a home with servants and maintain a budget; some of these women were able to afford nice clothing, and thanks to family money, they could become patrons of the arts. But few women, even in the upper class, were able to make independent decisions about their life. And if you were a lower class woman, you were generally not able to study at all, nor decide upon the direction your life would take. You went to work as a young girl, and learned the skills that were considered necessary to make your employer happy. Your life was about raising children and obeying your husband's wishes. Now and then, a lower-class young woman was fortunate enough to have a progressive employer who saw her intelligence and gave her a chance to study with a tutor; but this was the exception rather than the rule.
ERASMUS WAS A RENAISSANCE WRITER -- A Roman Catholic humanist philosopher; he advocated reform of the Church on the basis of study of sacred texts (regular reading of scripture by laity). He believed what the church needed was not institutional reform but "true religion": the inward, true love of God and love (service) of neighbors. -- He also considered becoming a monk, but it didn't work out, so he became a priest! Erasmus translated the Bible into Greek!
What does the renaissance and middle ages have in common?
They are not the same thing. The Middle Ages ended with the beginning of the Renaissance. There was a slight overlapping of the periods, but they were two distinct periods in European history.
When was the medieval Renaissance?
1st Answer:
There wasn't a "medieval Renaissance". It was the middle ages for a 1000 years and then after that was the time period known as the Renaissance.
2nd Answer:
There were at least five periods during the European Middle Ages that were referred to with the name Renaissance.
First was the Carolingian Renaissance, which was going on when Charlemagne was emperor of the Carolingian Empire. Perhaps 752 to 840 AD, the dates for Pepin the Short, Charlemagne, and Louis the Pious, would be good to use.
Second was the Macedonian Renaissance, a period from 867 to 1056 AD, when emperors of the Macedonian Dynasty ruled the Byzantine Empire.
Third, which took place simultaneously with the second, was the Ottonian Renaissance, a period of 936 to 1002 AD, when the first three emperors of the Saxon dynasty, Otto I, Otto II and Otto III, ruled the Holy Roman Empire.
Fourth was the Renaissance of the 12th century, in which trade and commerce were on the rise. Dates for this might be 1070 to 1315.
And fifth, of course, the European Renaissance began before the Middle Ages ended. Its beginning is dated variously, sometimes as early as the period when Dante was writing, before his death in 1321. Some writers use 1401 as a date for the beginning of the Renaissance. I will arbitrarily use 1353, by which time the Black Death was pretty much over in Italy.
Perhaps I should list these for clarity:
You could probably pick any of these as a Medieval Renaissance. Interestingly, in the last 700 years of the Middle Ages, about 620 were Renaissance for somebody. The more I read of the Middle Ages, the more I think this is an accurate understanding of the time.
To be complete, I should mention the Islamic Golden Age, which is also called the Islamic Renaissance, and was one of the most importantly productive periods in human history, which lasted from about 730 to 1258. I did not include it in the above because it was not primarily European. It should be noted, however, that it had great influence on Europe during these times.

What is the Renaissance art movement?
Renaissance is an endeavour to return to the ideas, values and art of the Greek and Roman antique. Art is the expression of a mind, and minds change as we discover the world and have different feelings about it. The mediaeval world was a profoundly religious place and this shows in all of its arts which generally portray a deep devotion. There were also elements of great fear of violence, witches and demons. The Renaissance (literally "rebirth") in Italy was by no means an abrupt shift in perspective. It began in the early fifteenth century and lasted several centuries and reflected a new confidence in humans rather than in God. Portraits and sculpture depicted more and more humans rather than spiritual beings and such works took on a new vitality which contrasted with the venerability of such works previously. In architecture, the change was marked by forms that reflected Ancient Roman techniques and styles. Music and literature began to be about people rather than sacred subjects.
What was the purpose of early renaissance art?
The same as the purpose of any art- to try and reveal some innate truth about nature through a display of beauty.
What caused the start of the Middle Ages?
The usual explanation is that the Middle Ages started with the fall of the West Roman Empire in 476 AD, and lasted until the fall of Constantinople, which was the capital of the East Roman Empire, in 1453.
The events that caused the fall of the West Roman Empire were the migrations of Germanic tribes into the Roman Empire, where they settled and formed kingdoms. The kingdoms were nominal in the Roman Empire, with the exception of the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa and the various kingdoms in Britain, but the kings never gave much support to the empire, and so its power declined to nothing in the West.

What was the shift in art from the middle ages to the Renaissance?
It was no longer only about religion.
It became more secular.
It was no longer only about religion.
People became more the focus of art.
And artists tried to paint realistically.

What time period came after the middle ages?
The usual definition of the middle ages places it after the age of antiquity or ancient times. The date for beginning of the middle ages is variously placed at different years in the fifth century, perhaps with 476 being the most often used.
There is a definition of the middle ages that places it as being after the dark ages, beginning the dark ages in the fifth century and the middle ages in the year 1000. Some historians regard this naming as old fashioned.
What is perspective in Renaissance art?
In art, "perspective" is the viewpoint of the artist and the audience. Some art is made from an overhead perspective, such as a pictorial survey of a city; other art is made from a ground-level perspective or from a distance. There are also ways to distort the perspective and to deliberately incorporate several different perspectives into one piece.

How did cosimo de medichi contribute to the Renaissance?
Lorenzo Di Medici was the ruler of Florentine Republic. His reign fell during the Renaissance period. He was a rich man and was known as a patron of artists, poets and scholars. He supported artistes like Michelangelo and Botticelli. During his reign he also played a vital role in maintaining peace with other Italian states, which ended with his death at the age of only 43.
Did they have wine in the Middle Ages?
I will answer this question because I believe you are referring to Medieval Europe, but use and prevalence (and taste) would be dependant on the global region in question.
Yes. Beer drinking in the Middle Ages was common for a number of reasons.
Health
One accepted line of thought is that beer became popular in Europe because it was a healthier alternative to water. This was because the 'cooking' phased required for fermentation had the bonus effect of sterilising the liquid, making it a safer alternative to the comparably 'dirty' drinking water. This was probably truer of larger towns, but it is a strong hypothesis.
Added Calories
Meals for the majority of the population in Medieval Europe were wheat and liquid based, with stews, soups and bread making up the vast majority of their caloric intake. Beer had become the standard beverage, drank by both sexes and all ages. The calories provided by the thick beverage added to the overall nutrition of medieval Europeans and offset the comparably frugal meals.
Vogue and Cheer
The best brews came from what might be considered a surprising source: local monasteries. Monks used beer as an alternative source of calories especially during fasting times. Consumption of liquid during times of fast was permissible in St. Benedict's code, and beer drinking was interpreted as permissible. Monks became skilled brewmasters and even derived a substantial income from monastery owned licensed pubs and alehouses. Pubs eventually became popular meeting places for the local population and beer became the point of focus around which much socialisation and cheer was shared - a tradition that is still seen today.
In fact, the 15th Century ushered in the development of the standard of the Flavorings License on Continental Europe. This was similar to a patent and acted to ensure that brewing became a growing and respected, legal trade.
How did the Renaissance effect the life's of peasants?
i don't think this is it, but a small change was that peasants had to work from sun-up to sun-down doing excruciatingly physically demanding work in the middle ages. in the reinassance they moved to cities. after the plague, price adn demand of goods went up, and peasants became a shortage and need, creating better conditions and wages for a few decades. also, some peasants became part of the new middle class of bankers, merchants, etc.
What were spoons made of during Medieval times?
Both forks and spoons were used throughout the Middle Ages, and both originated in ancient times. In particular, the spoon certainly goes back to prehistoric times.
Forks were unpopular as table utensils in Western Europe of the Early Middle Ages, though they were used for cooking and carving. They became popular for table use in different parts of Europe at different times.
Spoons were very commonly used during throughout the Middle Ages, as people ate a lot of gruel, soup, and stew.

Why did Europeans begin to explore other lands during the Renaissance?
The Renaissance era played a role in launching the age of exploration. People of this era began to question, think, and attempt to prove observations rather than just accept.
