856 Words4 Pages

Charlemagne
Mandatory In 772 Charlemagne wanted to bring order to Europe and its people. On his mission to bring order to Europe he took his military to convert the people to his ways and Christianity. In this process Charlemagne was forced to kill those who did not convert and many question if this was ethical.
Charlemagne at times was forced to kill the barbarians, as some would attack back after refusing to covert to Christianity. Letting the barbarian’s attack them without them fighting back could have resulted in Charlemagne not being successful. Allowing some barbarians to attack and survive could have cause an uprising from others as they would have seen it being done. Also letting some of them go could cause the barbarians that did not want to convert
During this era society was not what it is today. Barbarians where not civilized this would cause them to have different norms. They lived in a much harsher environment and this caused them to …show more content…

I was eating my breakfast and driving as fast as I could while eat so I wouldn’t be so late to class. As I was getting close to the college I could see the railroad tracks as I was approaching them. I looked down to get my drink while I was looking down I passed the railroad tracks. To my surprise when I passed the rail road tracks I was teleported from my car to a mysterious sandy environment.
Far off in the sandy air I could see a big pyramid in the distance. I had no other place to head as I had no idea where I was at so I began to head towards the pyramid. After I arrived to the pyramid after the long walk through the sand I had recognized the pyramid. It was one of the great Egyptian pyramids. Behind the pyramid just a little further down was the famous sphinx statute. I began to go to the sphinx as it was something I had known about. As I began to walk I heard a voice but I could not interoperate the language nor could I see where it was coming

    Following the precedent of past Roman emperors, Diocletian presented himself as divine, thus invoking the reverence and loyalty of his subjects (Brownworth 6). However, although pagan citizens readily adapted to this declaration, Christians, due to their monotheistic beliefs, were unable to acknowledge and give sacrifices to Diocletian. Consequently, Diocletian, in what would become one of the most monumental blunders of his career, issued an edict to force Christians to sacrifice to him at the threat of death (6-7). From here, his policy only became more extreme. Christians were persecuted, temples were desecrated, and holy texts were burnt.

  • Why Did Pope Urban II Encourage The Crusades?

    1023 Words  | 5 Pages

    During Europe in the Middle Ages, people’s lives were generally filled with poverty, the imminent possibility of death, and overall feelings of hopelessness. This translated into widespread violence and chaos, which Pope Urban II was understandably very concerned about. Thankfully, he had a solution in mind: he believed that “such energy could be focused on fighting against the Muslims in the Holy Land” and sure enough, “Soon knights and soldiers left their petty quarrels and traveled to the east to fight against the infidel,” going to prove that not only was the Pope politically driven – he was also politically adept (Runciman). Pope Urban II saw that the Europeans were a greatly divided and combative people, and he thought that the Crusades would be an effective remedy for this. Just as he had predicted, the European people, when given an alternate outlet for their everyday feelings of anger and fear besides each other, were able to truly unite.
