Charlemagne’s eighth and ninth century legacy is upheld through traditions via thirteenth century Charles IV (1316-1378) in politically connecting symbolism found between both eras in terms of religion, art, and locations as stimulated by the Reliquary Bust of Charlemagne. In order to demonstrate the symbolism, I will first examine both rulers affinity towards religion through the Holy Roman Emperor, Christianity, and the importance of relics. Next, I will explore the significance of symbolism in
of Castile. Isabella was born April 22, 1451. Ferdinand was the son of King John I of Aragon. He was born in 1452. Isabella was three years old when her father died. Henry IV, her half-brother, became king. “He named Isabella his successor.” Henry was not very fond of Ferdinand. When Isabella married Ferdinand in 1469, Henry IV withdrew his support. In 1474, Henry died; making his daughter Juana, take the throne. After the war of a succession ended in 1479, Isabella became the Queen of Castile (“Queen
fought were primarily financial incentives for Charles VIII of France. He declared that he intended to use Naples as a base to drive the Ottomans out of Europe and liberate Constantinople. In actual truth his main motivation was self-glory and the mouth-watering prospect of acquiring some exquisite prizes of war. On the way he would acquire rich cities and portable pieces of art. It seems that this invasion had been planned for two years prior since Charles had already bought off potential rivals like
are important events that lead up to colonization. In England, the Civil War between parliament and the monarchy affected colonization as well. The living situation for people in the Holy Roman Empire was deemed not good enough for future generations. The dynamics and developments in Spain, England, and the Holy Roman Empire were all important to the colonization of the New World. There were many important events in Spain that paved the way for the colonization of the New World. For example, Europeans
his reign, Henry was faced with the problem of the pretender, Lambert Simnel. Although he didn't really have any claim to throne, he managed to get a significant amount of foreign support and did pose a real threat to Henry. He was crowned Edward IV in Ireland, showing the Irish's contempt for Henry, and was also supported by Margaret of Burgundy; one of England's traditional allies. This worried Henry as if one of his 'allies' was prepared to support a pretender, what would his enemies do
Charles married his cousin Isabella of Portugal, uniting the kingdoms as one with their son Philip II of Spain and Philip I of Portugal. Though Philip was one of the best kings Spain has ever known he had a great deal of trouble with marriage. His first
brighter with the Pope or the church heads. On August 8, 1533 Pope Clement VII issued a bull commanding Henry to restore Catherine as his wife and put away Anne in ten days or he would suffer excommunication. If he didn't comply, then the support of Charles V, all other Christian princes, and Henry's own subjects would be called upon to carry out the terms of the bull by force of arms. After this, Henry seperated from the Catholic Church, because it would not allow the divorce, and formed his own church
Falstaff and King Henry IV who weren’t as honorable. They are all on different notions of honor with Prince Harry being at the top of the three. Falstaff has no chance at being the most honorable because he is lazy, selfish, dishonest, and manipulative. These characteristics are not in any way shape or form honorable and he wouldn’t be trustworthy enough to be noble and honorable. Falstaff thinks that he is honorable but he is nowhere near honorable. Then King Henry IV lacks the moral legitimacy
Lay investiture was a major problem during the reign of King Henry IV and the papacy of Pope Gregory VII. Up to this point, secular leaders had the power to appoint bishops and abbots in their land, causing a blend between the lines of Church and state. Gregory or “Hildebrand” recognized this dilemma and restricted investiture to the duty of the pope in 1075. Henry IV responded very cruelly and Hildebrand promptly excommunicated him. The Concordat of Worms eventually solved this controversy in 1122
this reference the audience would worry about Henry Iv?s Interruption. After Edward III died the reign passed on to Richard II. But he quickly became un popular. People accused him of being cursed. Richard II exiled Henry IV for 6 years but when he returned he over threw Richard and became King. He then had a son Named Henry V. But this interrupted the Divine Right of Kings. Everyone would think that he would have the same problem. But once Henry IV died, Henry Became King and showed great leader ship
The ruler Otto controlled the church during his reign by making bishops and abbots royal princes and agents to him (425). The revival of the church however, began as the German empire weakened in the eleventh century (425). During this time, the Church declared its independence from the governments’ control by embracing a reform movement, The Cluny Reform Movement (425). The reform established at the Cluny monastary in France, aimed at “freeing the church from secular political influence and control”
The Holy Roman Empire between 1197-1218 Between 1197 and 1218 the Holy Roman Empire became a medieval soap opera. The main characters were Pope Innocent III, Fredrick II, Phillip of Swabbia, and Otto IV. King Phillip of France would also play a major role along with Constance, mother of Fredrick II. The background from this period of 21 years was riveting. In 1197 Henry VI, king of Sicily, and the Holy Roman Empire died leaving his two year old son Fredrick II as king of Sicily. However Phillip
other churchmen, otherwise know as investiture. The church and Pope Gregory VII believed they had the right to solely pick churchmen because they believed the church and pope were all-powerful. Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, however wanted this power to protect the state. When Henry IV became emperor he was young which gave Pope Gregory the opportunity to take advantage of Henry and change the church. As Henry grew up knowing this, he became weary of Gregory’s intention and always payed attention
Hotspur vs. Harry in Henry IV At the beginning of the play it seems that the chief rebel, Hotspur, is in dispute with the King but as the play progresses we find that the main contest is between Hotspur and Hal, the King's son. At first thought, Hotspur seems to be the easy winner, for all Hal does is spend his time with his friends gallivanting around, stealing and drinking. Hotspur, on the other hand, has returned from a battle in which he defeated the Scots led by
drunken teen that lived in Henry died the day his father, Henry IV, died, Canterbury even says 'The breath no longer left his fathers body but that his wildness, mortified in him, seemed to die too' he also goes on to say 'At that very moment consideration, like an angel came, and whipped the offending Adam out of him, leaving his body as a paradise' The once rebellious, frowned upon teen was now described as 'a true lover of the holy church'. 'We are blessed in the change' says Ely. He is also
and look to a new order more beneficial to the newly formed city classes. Their ability to consolidate this new government was due in part to the political upheaval which existed between state and church. This can be seen within the conflict of Henry IV and Gregory VII. The concept of self-government showed a major change in power within the Northern towns of Italy. The traditional feudal system was replaced by a "commune", where all orders would share al rights and powers in common. This was implemented

Queen Isabelle I of Castile: Ruthless Queen or Noble Companion? Queen Isabella I of Castile was born on April 22, 1451 in Madrigal de las Atlas Torres. Isabella’s parents were King John of Castile and Isabella of Portugal. She eventually went on to marry Ferdinand II of Aragon and together they constituted a united Spain. Queen Isabella held the status of an overambitious and noble heroine with an alter ego of a statesman or legislator. These traits became a staple during her reign by allowing her
1. Introduction “The years of slavery are past, The Belgian rejoices once more; Courage restores to him at last, the rights he held of yore, strong and firm his gasp will be; Keeping the ancient flag unfurled; to fling its message on the watchful world: For king, for right, for liberty.” (Belgian National Anthem, 1830). This was what the Belgian sang when they fought for their independence, the song arises some questions on the situation of Belgium before there was a Belgian state or a Belgian Nation
