As a means of recording the passage of time, the 12th century is the period from 1101 to 1200 in accordance with the Julian calendar in the Christian/Common Era. In the history of European culture, this period is considered part of the High Middle Ages and is sometimes called the Age of the Cistercians. In Song Dynasty China an invasion by Jurchens causes a political schism of north and south. The Khmer Empire of Cambodia flourished during this century, while the Fatimids of Egypt were overtaken by the Ayyubid dynasty. From Wikipedia under the

The Church as an institution was immensely important for a long list of reasons: * It was controlled and supported by the minority ruling class (the King and his nobles) - they appointed priests, bishops and archbishops, they funded the building of new cathedrals, churches and monasteries and they donated money, land and property to help maintain them.

Two major factors: 1) There were a number of agricultural innovations that, on average, increased crop yields from about 2:1 to 4:1. When land produces more food, then the society doesn't need as many people to do agriculture, which means they are available to do other things (like become merchants, lawyers, teachers, builders, etc.) One thing many people don't understand about our own society is that we are utterly dependent on regular, reliably spectacular crop yields to keep the vast majority of us doing things other than farming. If those yields decline, even marginally, then our civilization is in big trouble. 2) In the latter half of the first millennium AD, Europe was under constant assault from the North (by the VIkings), East… [cont.] Answered by Geoff - Mon Apr 16 03:36:44 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "12th Century" |
