Understanding Power Dynamics and Perspectives in the Middle Ages

This week’s discussions center around the Middle Ages, examining our disagreements about its positive and negative aspects. We explore how different perspectives (POVs) shape our understanding of historical events and the implications these have for the narrative of history. Additionally, we identify the "winners" and "losers" at the end of this period, examining documents like Unam Sanctum through SOAPS to assess biases and the nature of secular versus papal relations. Finally, we will highlight five major themes and important vocabulary terms that represent key concepts from this era.

  1. Week #1 Discussions & Terms

  2. Middle Ages • What do our disagreements over positive/negatives tell us about the Middle Ages? • How might our differing POV’s impact the voice of historical facts? • Who were the winners by the end of the Middle Ages? • Losers?

  3. Unam Sanctum Use SOAPS to read this document What is the POV/bias? What does the nature of this bull tell us about secular/papal relations? If this fails: predict the ripple effect…

  4. 5 Big Themes Create a detailed annotation for each category

  5. TERMS Vocabulary on steroids… or with swag A good term will contain basic “5W” information; as well as, an explanation of significance. Resemble a mini paragraph on the topic

  6. Example EX: Catholic Pope, Boniface VIII, created the papal bull UNAM SANCTUM in 1302. This document was designed to reestablish papal authority over secular powers and illustrate to the French King Philip the Fair that monarchs were not permitted to tax or remit taxation without consent of the Holy See. This document’s failure is often considered the beginning of a significant decrease in papal power and a landmark in the formation of strong, centralized monarchial forms of government in Western Europe.
