The
Venetian Republic
|
|
|
While
most of Europe suffered great cultural and material setbacks
during the middle ages, the mercantile cities of Italy enjoyed
a Renaissance unequaled elsewhere. Industrious seafarers,
merchants and bankers built a global trading and financing
network so powerful that individual families often had more
money than some small nations. read

A
Sign of German Piety
|
|
|
Ancient
Germanic tribes worshipped, as did most other civilizations
of antiquity, sun gods, war gods, gods of the woods and
water, gods for luck, gods for revenge, gods for anything
and everything. Christianity was introduced early on, but
it took centuries for it to gain a foothold. With the creation
of the Holy Roman Empire in 962 AD, Germany became a central
cog in that huge religious wheel, but remained a patchwork
of small temporal and ecclesiastical principalities and
free states. read

Matthias
Corvinus,
King of Hungary
|
|
|
The
last native monarch to reign over all Hungary. A patron
of Renaissance art and learning, he was for a time the most
powerful ruler in central Europe. Matthias was born in Kolozsvar,
the son of Janos Hunyadi, who was regent of Hungary. Matthias
was elected king as successor to the childless Ladislas
V in 1458. Matthias intervened in Bohemia in an attempt
to win control of that country. Although ultimately unsuccessful,
he did acquire the provinces of Moravia, Lusatia, and Silesia.
