 Sir Thomas More-7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), also known by Catholics as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was an important councillor to Henry VIII of England and, for three years toward the end of his life, Lord Chancellor. He is recognized as a saint within the Catholic Church and is commemorated by the Church of England as a "Reformation martyr".[1] He was an opponent of the Protestant Reformation and in particular of Martin Luther and William Tyndale.
More coined the word "utopia" – a name he gave to the ideal and imaginary island nation, the political system of which he described in Utopia published in 1516. He opposed the King's separation from the Catholic Church and refused to accept the King as Supreme Head of the Church of England, a title which had been given by parliament through the Act of Supremacy of 1534. He was imprisoned in 1534 for his refusal to take the oath required by the First Succession Act, because the act disparaged papal power and Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon. In 1535, he was tried for treason, convicted on perjured testimony and beheaded.
Intellectuals and statesmen across Europe were stunned by More's execution. Erasmus saluted him as one "whose soul was more pure than any snow, whose genius was such that England never had and never again will have its like".[2] Two centuries later Jonathan Swift said he was "the person of the greatest virtue this kingdom ever produced" (Prose Works of Jonathan Swift, v. 13, Oxford UP, 1959, p. 123), a sentiment with which Samuel Johnson agreed. Historian Hugh Trevor-Roper said in 1977 that More was "the first great Englishman whom we feel that we know, the most saintly of humanists, the most human of saints, the universal man of our cool northern renaissance."[3] The Catholic Church proclaimed him a saint in 1935. The Franciscan order has the tradition that he was a member of the Third Order of St. Francis and venerates his memory as a member of the order.

Prince Henry- known as the navigator, started first school of oceanic development, established a center for navigation and exploration.

Miguel- wrote Quixote?


Louise Labe- french poet of the Renaissance, author who encouraged women to write books.

Notes for Chapter 14, sections 3-5.

Section Three:

Many growing cities of the Middle Ages were dark, unsafe, dirty, and unhealthy. There were no streetlights or police. People did not go out at night for fear of a robber. Waste was dumped into open gutters. This caused disease to spread very easily and quickly through crowded cities. The plague was called "The Black Death". It was in Europe. It began in Asia and spread through trade routes.It entered ports by way of trading ships. Black rats on the ships carried the disease. The plague was spread to people by bites from fleas on the rats.The exact number of deaths from the plague in Europe is unknown. It happened so quickly that the alive people couldn't keep track of how many and burying the dead.Some entire villages and towns were wiped out. About 25 million people died in Europe from 1347-1351. That's about one third of the population. It caused many changes in Europe. People's faith in God was shaken. The church lost some of it's power and importance. Relations between the upper class and lower class changed. Workers, now in short supply, demanded higher wages. In several European countries, peasants staged uprisings.

Section Four:

Vernacular Languages- everyday speech that varied from place to place spoken by people with little education, most were related to Latin.
Troubadours-traveling singers who wrote poems about love and chivalry.
Dante Alighieri- great midieval writer.
Geoffrey Chaucer- great midieval writer.
Scholasticism- an attempt to bring together faith and reason.
Peter Abelard- an important philosopher of scholasticism, taught in Paris in the 1100s.


Section Five:

A series of conflict between England and France was the Hundred Years' War. In 1328 the last male member of France's Capetian dynasty died. Edward III claimed the French throne. The French assembly chose Philip VI, the Count of Flanders, as king instead. In 1337 Edward brought an army to Flanders, hoping to gain control of this rich trading area.Thus the Hundred Years' War began. It continued for 116 years as a series of raids and battles. Sometimes there were long periods of uneasy peace. England won many battles but lost the war. By 1453 France controlled all of England's lands except Calais. The Hundred Years' War saw the use of new weapons in Europe. At the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, English foot soldiers used longbows. With these bows they could fire arrows quickly, hitting targets up to 200 yards away. French knights on horseback were no match for the English and their longbows. Both the English and the French used gunpowder and cannons in battle. Castles no longer provided protection for a fuedal lord because one powerful cannon blast could break through a castle's wall. Longbows, gunpowder, and cannons further weakened knightly warfare.Besides loss of life and land, The Hundred Years' War had another important affect on England. Parliament, particularly the House of Commons, gained more power over the king.
