(1.5 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Translation of syllabus course description: The political break up of the Carolingian world begins with the son of Louis the Pious. In the 10th century, the political contours of this medieval Western Europe progressively define themselves. In the west, the accession of the Capetians inaugurates a feudal world that develops into the 12th century. Royal power is erased until it finally returns under the impetus of prince Louis (1100) and is affirmed in the 13th century. At the same time, the western Church goes through the "Gregorian" reform.
