What form did the "family" take in Lutheran's view? What kind of effect did the Protestant Reformation have on women?:
•"family" could be placed at centre of human life, and a new stress on "mutual love between man and wife" could be extolled. •However, while this was sometimes a reality, more often than not, women were expected to follow orders from their husbands whatever it may be, and husbands often acted like rulers in their families. •While family life was often the only future for women because Protestantism removed monasticism as a career option, girls were now educated, at least in the Bible. •But, women were viewed as giving birth and going through the pains and burdens of child bearing and rearing as punishment for Eve's sins, and were no longer viewed as important in controlling religion in the home.
What was the Spanish Armada and how did it end?:
•A fleet of warships that Philip II ordered to rendevous with the army of the Duke of Parma in Flanders and escort his troops across the English Channel for Philip II's planned invasion of England. •Failed because Spanish Armada had neither the ships nor the troops that were planned to be sent. •The Spaniards bet their success on a miracle from God which never came. •Battered by a number of encounters with the English, and tons of storms. •Even though the English and Spanish would keep fighting for sixteen years, the Spanish never won, and the defeat of the Spanish Armada was a huge psychological blow to the over confident Spaniards.
John Calvin was arguably more influential in the spread of Protestantism than Martin Luther. What were his core beliefs? On what areas did he agree with Luther? Where did he disagree with Luther?:
•Believed and adhered to the doctrine of justification by faith alone to explain how humans achieved salvation. Calvin also placed a lot of emphasis on the absolute sovereignty of God, and believed in predestination (God predetermines who is going to hell and who is going to heaven). •To Calvin, the church was a diving institution, responsible for preaching the words of God and administering the sacraments. •Calvin kept the same two sacraments as other Protestant Reformers, baptism and the Lord's Supper. •Unlike Luther, Calvin believed that Jesus is only spiritually present in the Lord's Supper, not physically present (consubstantiation).
What was the Act of Supremacy? How did the Queen handle Catholics and radical Protestants (Puritans)?:
•In 1559 the Parliament cooperated with Elizabeth in initiating the Elizabethan religious settlement. •The Catholic legislation of Mary's reign was repealed, and the new Act of Supremacy designated Elizabeth as "the only Supreme governor of this realm, as well as in all spiritual or ecclesiastical things or causes, as temporal." •She used this rather than the title "Supreme head of the Church" so she wouldn't upset Catholics who thought that the title belonged to the Pope, or radical Protestants, who considered Christ the head of the church.
What happened to Zwingli?:

•Jesuits, AKA 'The Society of Jesus' = new religious order that became the chief instrument of the Catholic reformation. •They were founded by and led by a Spanish nobleman, Ignatius of Loyola. •They kind of resembled the first Protestants because of their leader's anguish in regards to religion, but this was the only thing Luther and Ignatius had in common. •The Jesuits were basically super-Catholics
Who held the highest positions among the clergy? What is the bourgeoisie?:
•Nobles and/or wealthy members of the bourgeoisie held the highest positions among the clergy •The bourgeoisie = essentially, (upper) middle class.
What happened to the Dutch Anabaptists are Munster? What did they rename themselves afterwards?:
•The Dutch Anabaptists and Munster believed the end of the world was coming, and attempted to form a new Jerusalem from Munster. •Kicked everyone else out, burned all books that weren't the Bible, and proclaimed communal ownership of all property. •John of Leiden eventually took control and announced himself the King of New Jerusalem with the goal of taking control of the world and purifying it with his sword so the Earth is nice when Jesus decides to show up. •The Catholic prince-bishop of Munster later showed up and starved out the city, killed the radical Anabaptist leaders, and Dutch Anabaptists became pacifists thanks to Menno Simmons. •They now called themselves Amish/Mennonites
What was the Edict of Nantes? What did it state?:
•The Edict of Nantes = edict issued in 1598, acknowledged Catholicism as the official religion of France, but guaranteed the Huguenots the right to worship in specific places in every district and let them keep a certain number of fortified towns for their protection. •Pretty much almost equal rights for the Huguenots.
What was the War of the Three Henries? Who were the three? Who ended up becoming King?:

•Ulrich Zwingli (1484 - 1531) was the son of a prosperous peasant (relatively) and was born in one of the forest cantons of Switzerland. •From a young age, Zwingli eventually obtained a bachelor and masters in arts. During his university education at Vienna and Basel, he was strongly influenced by Christian humanism. •He was ordained as a priest in 1506, accepted a parish post in rural Switzerland, until his appointment as cathedral priest in the Great Minister of Zürich in 1518. •Through his preaching there, Zwingli began the Reformation in Switzerland (like Luther in Germany).
How did the Protestant education differ from the humanist schools that came before?:
•Unlike the humanist schools, which had been mostly for the elite, the sons and daughters of the nobility and and wealthier bourgeoisie, Protestant schools were aimed at a much wider audience. •Public schools •Public and Private schools •(Private/Gymnasium = taught Latin and Greek grammar and literature as well as logic.) •(Public = taught philosophy, Hebrew, Greek, and theology)
Explain what happened when Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church.:
•When Henry VIII created the Church of England and broke away from the Catholic Church, Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy in 1534, which declared that the English monarch now controlled the church in all meanings of the word, and in all areas. •Also, the Treason Act was passed, making it punishable by death to deny that the king was the Supreme Head of the Church. •There was a lot of religious conflict in England because many people, including Thomas More, did not like that loyalty to the Pope in Rome was treason against the English King.

Describe England's foreign policies during this time:
•Elizabeth was fearful of other countries' motives because she realized war could be disastrous for both England and he own rule •However, on the down-low, she supported English piracy and provided aid to French Huguenots and Calvinists in the Netherlands to weaken France and Spain. •But, she acted aloof and avoided alliances that would force her into war with any major powers.
Why did Henry VIII of England want a divorce from Catherine of Aragon? What did Cardinal Wolsey have to do with this?:
•Catherine failed to give him a make heir, was falling in love with Anne Boleyn who promised to give him a male heir if he made her queen, so he wanted a divorce from Catherine. •Henry asked Cardinal Wolsey to ask the pope to annul his marriage to Catherine, but the pope took too long to make it happen, so Henry became impatient and dismissed Cardinal Wolsey in 1529.
There was a brief time in about 1541 when some Catholics had hoped to resolve the religious differences between Catholics and Protestants peacefully. Why didn't this happen?:
•Didn't happen because Cardinal Caraffa accused Cardinal Contarini, who had wanted to resolve the religious differences peacefully, of selling out to heretics. •Then when Cardinal Caraffa was chosen as Pope Paul IV (1555 - 1559) he so increased the power of the Roman Inquisition (that he had convinced the previous Pope to form to ferret out doctrinal errors) that even the liberal Cardinals were silenced.
Spielvogel has often said that changes in Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries led the salvation process to become more mechanical. What does he mean by this? Why did it happen? What are indulgences and how do they fit into this process?:
• Many church officials failing to meet their religious responsibilities + ordinary people grasping for some sort of meaningful religious expression and certainty of salvation = salvation process became almost mechanical •These people found this in the veneration of relics and indulgences. Indulgences were pieces of paper that could reduce a person's time in purgatory by a significant amount of time, and served as a remission, after death, of all or part of the punishment for sins.

Where did Lutheranism spread? To whom was it most appealing?:
Lutheranism spread to both princely and ecclesiastical states in Northern and Central Germany as well as to two-thirds of the free imperial cities, especially those of Southern Germany, where prosperous burghers for both religious and secular reasons, became committed to Luther's cause. He was most appealing to prosperous burghers, and upper class clergy.
What effect, if any, did the spread of Lutheranism have on peasants of the Holy Roman Empire?:
Most peasants did not experience any change through the rise of Lutheranism, and were still abused by their lords, who demanded new taxes and other services, which caused peasants to wish for a return to the 'good old days'. They also became angry because they were not experiencing the beneficial economic reform as a result of Lutheranism that the upper classes were.
How was the Northern Renaissance, in some ways, similar to the Italian Renaissance?:

Luther's prince, the Elector of Saxony, sent him into hiding at the Wartburg Castle where he remained for nearly a year.
What was the German Peasants' Revolt (or War)? Did Luther support the peasants? Why or why not?:
The German Peasants' Revolt (or War) was an outbreak of violence as a result of social and economic discontent that caused peasants to unite against the upper classes.

What does "when a coin in the coffer rings, a soul from purgatory springs" mean? Who said it? Did Luther like or dislike this idea? Why?:
This means that when a person bought an indulgence, it freed the soul of one of their family members from purgatory and into heaven. This was said by Johann Tetzel. Luther did not like indulgences, and was certain that people who relied on these pieces of paper to assure themselves salvation were guaranteeing their eternal damnation instead.
What is the difference between "transubstantiation" and "consubstantiation"? Why was this such a huge sticking point for Luther?:
Transubstantiation = doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church that the bread and wine is miraculously transformed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Consubstantiation = the Lutheran doctrine that the substance of the bread and wine coexists with the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist. This was a huge sticking point for Luther because he believed that the bread and wine was both bread and wine and the body and blood, instead of just the body and blood.
What were the major differences of the Northern Renaissance from the Italian Renaissance?:
While Italian Humanists were more interested in secularism, Northern (or Christian) Humanists were more interested in the reform and simplification of the church through education in the sources of Classical and Christian antiquity.

Aside from religion, what else contributed to the ongoing civil wars in France? What is a politique?:
•Aside from religion, towns, provinces, and also many members of the nobility were resentful of the growing power of monarchical centralization, so they were eager to join a revolt against the monarchy. •Also, because so many of the nobility were Calvinists, they formed an important base of opposition to the crown. •A politique is a group that emerged during the French Wars of Religion in the sixteenth century, placed politics above religion, and believed that no religious truth was worth the ravages of civil war (so basically the Politiques had common sense)
