Document Summary
Threshold thoughts: europe at the beginning of the twelfth century. Towns and urban life: new towns, brand new towns, old towns transforming and changing, town liberties. Trade and the economy: coinage, multiple forms of coins, had no standardizations, strangest around the mediterranean, goslar silver mines, have access to source, three trade zones, mediterranean, northern/ hanseatic. Giant markets provide security to people who visit. Lords get to control baptism and burial now. Have to pay to baptise and burial: lay investiture. Any patron can put forward a nominee to be the parish priest. A lot of local conflict: peace of god movement not allowed to tax certain groups, peace of truth. Not allowed to attack people on certain days: new piety. Saints are seen as more human: easy to relate to, healing principles. Any deviation of popular theology turned to heracy.
