HIST-308 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Edward I Of England, Henry Suso, Hohenstaufen
Document Summary
Eckhart"s approach spawned many spiritual leaders in imitation. German legacy of johannes tauler and henry suso go down to luther"s reformation. The 14th century was when people looked for new leaders. Many old forms of political, economic, and cultural stability were crumbling: the habsburgs. Rudolf of habsburg inherited the crown but he was weak. These setbacks in the hre allowed the kings of france to become more involved in italian politics: capetians. This was due to the strategies of philip augustus and his heirs. This trend continued with the rise of philip iv the fair: philip the fair. Also known as the "good looking", philip levied french power against the popes. He gained influence in italy but also risked schism. He built up royal power but had to appease his feudal lords too. He agreed to the institution of the estates general. This was a modicum of participatory governance: england. Failures of king john lackland were still being felt.
