Semester 2 (January \xe2\x80\x93 April 2025) HIST-3223-A The Medieval Church (M, W 2:30 PM - 3:50 PM). This course deals with the history of the
Church from the time of Gregory the Great in the sixth century to the end of the fifteenth century. For

relations that existed with the East. The theme that will run throughout the course is that of the
interaction between the Church and the society of this period. Among the topics that will be covered will
be the Merovingian and Carolingian Church and the role of such leaders as Charlemagne, the Gregorian
Reform Movement and the clash with the Emperor, the development and contribution to medieval
society, the emergence of the pilgrimage and the crusade, the religious unrest of the later Middle Ages,
and the growth of the medieval papacy. (Maximum enrolment: 35)
