Rick Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 One of the big, happening, things during our period was the uptake and rise to dominance of Christianity in the UK.

Jonathan Breeze Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 There was the Great Schism in 1050 (I think) between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches, though as I understand it- had been brewing for a long time before. I guess there was also the split between the Trinitarian and Arminian factions since 1st Council of Nicaea (in 325). While that was way back, it’s got to have affected the beliefs adopted by Pagan converts. What else was going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 The big one in our core period is the Benedictine reforms known as the Cluniac Reforms. Big shake up of the monastic "organisation" with secular stuff significantly reducing and more coming directly under "church control" The Cluniac and Cistercian Reforms to Benedictine Monasticism (wondriumdaily.com) 1098 also saw the first non Benedictine monasteries spring up in 1098 with the first Cistercian monastery in Citeaux in central France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
