    Griesmer Capitol History

    Colonial Williamsburg is the largest museum in the world and models life back in the 18th century. This historical site shows the difference from today life and back then life. The main buildings in Colonial Williamsburg are the Capitol, Bruton Parish Church, Governors Palace, and the Magazine. In the capitol is where the members of the House of Burgesses encounter and where documents were written by famous Americans that changed America impressively. A court was also located in the capitol, so without the capitol having a court, life today would be different and courts might not be here today. This generation has learned from the past’s mistake of how they did not put their capitol in the most populated…

    Urban and the Council of Clermont

    There are many accounts of that day in November, 1095. Some were written by monks, others by bishops, and even a few by warriors themselves. Historians are constantly asking, "What exactly did Pope Urban II say at the council of Clermont to persuade Christians to set forth on such a difficult venture as the Crusades?" One man, an early 12th century cleric named Fulcher of Chartres wrote perhaps the best historical chronicle of the events at Clermont and the speech of Urban II.<br><br>Fulcher begins his account with a prologue that states how blessed the journeymen of the Crusades were to take up such a conquest. He follows this by speaking on the Council of Clermont. Fulcher describes Pope Urban II and what he heard was happening to the Christians in the east. What comes next in Flucher's writing is a long speech, allegedly quoted from Urban II himself.<br><br>In the speech, Urban first lectures his fellow clergymen regarding problems in the church, saying that they should "set [themselves] right before [they] do others"1 Fulcher, 51. Urban II next, as according to Fulcher, declares the doctrine of the church and re-instates the idea of the "Truce"2 McGinty, 52. He also discussed various crimes for which the criminal would be excommunicated from the Church.<br><br>In Fulcher's third section, Urban speaks of the "evils" in the east. He says, "there is work to do, you must help your brothers living in the Orient, who need your aid for which they have cried out many times"3 Fulcher, 52. He gives word that these "brothers" (Christians) are being threatened by the Turks who must be pushed back to Persia. Urban will grant remission of sins for their services. In closing, Fulcher tells how Urban II presses on to say, " Let no delay postpone the journey"4 Fulcher, 53.<br><br>Fulcher of Chartres' account of what happened at the Council of Clermont is a great piece, full of detail. Fulcher obviously held Pope Urban II in high regard. Throughout his chronicle, he douses him…

    Einhard and Charlemagne's Palace School: a Mechanism for Wealth, Prestige, Power and Success

    Einhard was a courtier in Charlemagne 's Frankish Kingdom. During Charlemagne 's rule/life (768-824), he dedicated a vast amount of time and energy into supporting the notions of classical learning. He went so far as to start a school comprised of many scholars within his palace. Their role was to educate the nobility, the priesthood and the people, as well as hold counsel with the king. This is where Einhard and Charlemagne first encountered each other. Einhard was a small but intelligent man who came to prominence in the PiousCharlemagne 's and Charlemagne 's son 's kingdom. It is often asked how such a small man came to be the heart of the kingdom, and how the court school and the opportunities it provided influenced his success. During the late 8th and early 9th century, Charlemagne came to power. He expanded the kingdom and conceived many reforms during his reign.…

    Impact of the Congress of Vienna (1815)

    In its immediate aftermath, the famous description, "le Congres ne marche pas; il danse" ('the Congress does not work; it dances') was often seen as the most accurate summary of the events taking place during the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Beneath the façade of all the reveling, this gathering of diplomats marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the turmoil they wrought on Europe, reshaping the order and structure of the continent in its legacy. With Austria, Great Britain, France, Prussia, and Russia playing the lead roles in the Congress while the rest of the world essentially watched, the two foremost concerns in Vienna were the containment of France, and the restoration of peace and balance of power to Europe. In redrawing the continent's political landscape after the defeat of Napoleonic France the previous spring, the members managed to successfully redesign Europe into a stable and secure block. The landmark settlement also represented a turning point in the history if international relations, with the Congress serving as more than the usual post-war divvying up of the spoils, but the states were collectively able to at least partially set aside their own agendas for the well being of Europe as a whole, which was most clearly demonstrated in the dealings of the victorious powers with France, as well as the Congress' handing of the Polish-Saxon Crisis. The commitment to maintaining the balance of power led to the formation of the Concert of Europe, predecessor to the United Nations, and further solidified the long-term well-being of Europe. In doing so, one of the most noticeable results in its aftermath was a major conservative victory over liberal/nationalists, evident with the effort towards crushing future rebellions, reinstating monarchies, and maintenance of the status quo. Overall, the Congress of Vienna successfully achieved all of its goals and created a new political environment on the continent and throughout the world, that resulted in forty…

    Lavish Expression Of Gaiety Among Aristocracy During The Age Of Enlightenment

    The Rococo period embellished the Baroque style for a more lavish expression of gaiety among aristocracy during an age of Enlightenment. Before the French Revolution, there was a time when the Rococo period was embraced by artists such as Jean-Antoine Watteau. Many artists during the Rococo period correlated their works to humanism as seen in Jean-Antoine Watteau's painting the Mezzetin which illustrates a aristocratic young man leisurely strumming a stringed instrument. The Age of Enlightenment was an area of rebellion from previous attitudes of the Baroque era. In part, the Rococo period permitted artists similar to Jean-Antoine Watteau inwardly reflect moments of gaiety among aristocracy during an age of…

    The Carolingian Renaissance

    The Carolingian Renaissance is known for the cultural transitions and great achievements that were obtained in the 8th century under the direction of Charlemagne. Charlemagne, who was also known as Carolus Magnus and Charles the Great, was one of the greatest leaders during the Middle Ages. He was a military man, king of the Franks, and was appointed as Roman emperor in 800 AD. Throughout Europe, he was seen as a great example of an emperor and Christian king. Not only did he revive the political system but also the cultural life of Europe. His activities "had a spectacular effect on education and culture in Francia, a debatable effect on artistic endeavors, and an immeasurable effect on what mattered most to the Carolingians, the moral regeneration of society,"1 This was his effort in improving the educational standards of the people of the church and his men who held roles in the government. His choice for doing such thing was to have control with his people and others. This educational reform had many great accomplished during that period. Along with this advancement, monastic scriptoria all over the kingdom used the same type of handwriting. Thus it made the hard work of copying the manuscripts easier and it was seen favorable by many. In consequence, the many advances of the Carolingian Renaissance can be seen through the new layout and fabrication of a manuscript, the use of illuminations and different types of illuminations being produced and the introduction of the Carolingian minuscule or Caroline writing. In fact, Kenneth Clark2 was of the opinion that due to the Carolingian Renaissance, western civilization survived by the skin of its teeth.…

    carolingian Renaissance

    carolingian Renaissance

    The Carolingian Renaissance is a period in the Middle Ages characterized by the revival of scholarship, and tagged with the figure of Charlemagne. After a period of stagnation and certain decadence in the development of intellectual awareness and art which marked the Middle Ages, in the second half of the 8th century there is a new uplift in these fields. Charlemagne brings the greatest scholars of his time to his court, in a desire to revive the level of artistic creation and nourishment of literacy from the time of the ancient Rome. Rome becomes an ideal in the recovery of art, architecture, philosophical writings. Transcriptions are made of ancient scholar works, which are some of the only copies of these works preserved to this day. As a result of a need for extended text on the scarce surface of pergaments, a new epistyle called minuscule is developed, which will have become the ground for today’s modern epistyle. Gina Pischel thus explains this Carolingian revival: „From an artistic point of view, the characteristic element of the Carolingian [...] Renaissance, is the persistence to reinforce, through the restoration of the Empire, the culture that, sparse and defective, found its resort in desolate monasteries. To rediscover the greatness of Antique was a myth, and, at the same time, an aspiration for a new prestige; still it is a retrieval of immortal virtues and ideas that began to fade and obscure.“1…

    Congress Of Vienna Compared To The Treaty Of Versailles

    The two treaties of Versailles and Vienna were both established to promote an enduring peace all through Europe. This mindset, achieved through the devastating wars that just occurred, urged European powers to create dependable frameworks for peace, specifically the Concert of Europe and the League of Nations; however, these groups experienced varying success levels. The Concert's eagerness to obliterate any resistance through a legal use of military power kept any real clash from coming to fruition; this is differentiated by the Leagues, who had an absence of authority, prompting the second Great War, or World War II.…
