Juana the Mad

JUANA THE MAD:

 

       It was nicknamed "the Mad" by an alleged mental illness alleged by his father and by his son away from the throne to keep it locked in Tordesillas of lifetime. He has been written that the disease could have been caused by jealousy towards her husband and by the pain he felt after his death. This vision of his figure was popularized in the romanticism in painting and literature.

MARTIN LUTHER

Martin luthier dedicated his life to the monastery. He studied lot of things how greek and hebrew in order to deepen  in the old texts, this knowledge serverd to him for  translated the jew Bible. 

Martin luther saw that the Church lost the true vision of some terms that were wrote in the Scriptures. Luther started to teahed that the salvation is only a present that God can give to as and that God give when we have faith. Martin Luther saw the sell of indulgences no only how an abuse of power, if not as a lie; that can made that the people only belived in a lie and no in the sacraments (confession and repentance). Martin Luther made 95 thesis, the thesis were translated to the german. In two weeks they were difunded in Germany and in two weeks they were difunded in Europe. That was one of the first times in the history that the print had an important role because it made easier the distribtion of the thesis.

So we can say that Luther made that the Catholic Curch return to the originals teachings of the Bible, that thrust the reaccion of the Catholic Church and started the Counter-Reformation.

QUATROCENTTO ARCHITECTURE MARTIN MATEOS GAMEZ 2ºA

Quatrocentto. arquitectura m from Gamez1523

Heeey pupils, I have a found a very nice and interesting page where you can watch full chapters of the TV series: Isabel, it is in spanish, and it is quiet faithful to the real history.

Obviusly, as its name indicate the main character is Isabe, the catholic queen of Castile, but in the series is represeted the society, politicy and economy during the rule of Catholic Monarchs, even before and after its reign.

So, if you want to know more about this story watch it, probably you could appreciate their lifestyles, the castilian civil war, the customes during the beginning of Modern Age in Spain. Finally, I have to confess that also there is a love story between them (historically is not very known)
