Answer 2

The Medici family was very powerful and important during this time. A thing to remember is that the Renaissance moved through Europe at different times. Some people could say that Peter the Great brought the Renaissance to Russia with all of his changes and by embracing Western Europe culture. The English Renaissance happened when Queen Elizabeth I ruled, this was during the time that Shakespeare wrote.

At this time most of Europe was Catholic and the popes and the Catholic Church had alot of power because of this however, Martin Luther would start the Protestant reformation in the 16th century. This would change Europe and even force the Catholic Church to change some things about its self.

When looking at Leaders also look at people that changed the ideas of the leaders. Galileo and his ideas that upset the Catholic church. Machiavelli and Thomas More's writings would be important to look at too. Leaders today still quote both.


The Renaissance covers a lot of time with alot of people, get lost on these links and will get many more.

Answer 5

We can't tell you what to write, especially since we haven't read your essay. Moreover, Galileo is not really a Renaissance figure. He was born in the very late Renaissance, Counter-Reformation period, but he is usually studied in the context of Early Modern science, in the post-Renaissance Baroque period of the 17th century. Look at Erasmus and Thomas More and Martin Luther. Raphael and Lorenzo de' Medici and Albrecht Durer. And make sure that you spell everyone's name correctly. Doublecheck Michelangelo's.

You can write about the differences between the Italian Renaissance (1300-1500) and the Northern Renaissance (1500-1600) and how the invention of the printing press lead to the mass production of books which encouraged lay literacy, made the transmission of information and ideas (such as humanism) easier, and was essential to the Reformation. You could also include information about Petrarch, the de Medici family, Michelangelo (he painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling, which is associated with the materialism of the church during that period), Johann Tetzel (the selling of indulgences = corruption of the church), Machiavelli (The Prince), Neoplatonism, secularism, Baldassare Castiglione (The Book of the Courtier), the bourgiousie, the city of Florence, Picodella Mirandola, Desiderius Erasmus (In Praise of Folly), and Girolamo Savonarola ("bonfires of vanities").

Answer 8

I assume you mean military & political leaders?
Try the d'Este family, Savonarola, the Medicis in Italy (there are others);
the Hapsburgs in the HRE, Spain, & the Low Countries (Charles V, Philip II, etc.);
the Tudors in England (Henry VIII, Elizabeth I);
In France the Valois family ruled: Louis XII, Francois I, Henri II;
other Germans, you'll have to look up by principality, palatinate, duchy, etc.
And don't forget the Popes--say what you will about the morals & standing of the Popes during the 14 & 1500's, they were great patrons of the arts & had a great deal of secular influence.
