How powerful was the Anglo-Saxon church?

History
1 answer:
Sonja [21]4 years ago
8 0

The power of the Church is often over-emphasised. Certainly, the later medieval Church was rich and powerful, and that power was often misused - especially in Europe. Bishops and archbishops were appointed without any training or clerical background, church offices changed hands for cash, and so on. But that was long after our period. The authority of the early medieval Church in England was no different to that of any other landowner.


So how did people in the tenth/eleventh century act towards a cleric? According to the laws of the period, a priest had the rank of thegn (he was one of 'God's thegns'), and a bishop was at least the level of an eolderman. Don't get too misled by Hollywood's image of popular contempt for, and corruption within, the clergy.

GrogVix [38]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no se anexan opciones o incisos para contestar la pregunta es la siguiente.

La respuesta correcta es "falso."

Es falso que los Incas, la civilización e imperio más importante de América del Sur cuando llegaron los españoles a América, era una sociedad altamente democratizada e, incluso, elegían mediante sufragio o votación universal al emperador o Zapa Inca.

Todo lo contrario, los Incas eran un Imperio, no una democracia ni nada que le le pereciera.

El Zapa Inca era dueño y amo absoluto del territorio Inca en los Andes de la región del Perú.. La creencia de los pobladores Incas es que este Zapa Inca era descendiente de Manco Cápac, fundador del imperio Inca con sede en Cuzco.
