France Notes

  1. In the middle ages the church is the strongest thing in Europe
  2. Pope call for the first crusade
  3. Jerusalem had changed hands from jews to followers of islam and Arabs
  4. First crusade was a complete failure
  5. Romanesque churches were more dark and fortress like. Sculpture on the churches represent the millennial mythology. They had very round arches.
  6. Gothic art- churches were full of images of light. Stain glass windows. Elegant arched archway with bog rose window.
