Romeo and Juliet - Mads, Anne-Sophie, Simon og Camilla K

Romeo: oh Juliet you are so lovely, like an angel from heaven. Juliet: Romeo let us forget our family names, because we cannot be together if we don't. Romeo: shall I speak, or will you continue ? Juliet: Your name is my enemy. It is not your family name who defines who you really are, what really defines you is your actions. Romeo: I will be baptis'ed and then I will no longer be called Romeo. I hate my name because it's an enemy to your family. Juliet: I have heard enough! Are you not a Romeo and Montague? Romeo: Neither if that does not please you. Juliet: How did you manage to get here, and more importantly why?

Queen Elizabeth 1st


Queen Elizabeth 1st 7th Sep. 1533- 24th march 1603.
Queen Elizabeth the 1st was the queen of England from 1558-1603. She was daughter of Henrik the VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn.

She succeeded to the throne on her half-sister’s (Maria or Bloody Mary) death in November 1558. She was called the Virgin-queen because she never was married and Good Queen Bess because she was loved by so many.

One of her first moves as a queen was the establishment of an English protestant church of which she became the supreme governor. Her sister Maria didn’t like her because she supported the Protestants, and therefore Maria imprisoned her.

Her time as a queen was known as the “The Golden Age”, because she made England strong and prosperous.  Her follower was Jakob the 1st 1603-1625.

Inquisition

Definition: An Inquisition is an institution with the church, which generally was concerned only with the heretical behaviour of Catholic adherents or converts. There have been several Inquisition since dawn of the church, but the Spanish Inquisition was the most prominent, therefore it is also the one we base our analysis upon.

Spanish Inquisition:
The organization set up by the Roman Catholic Church in Spain in the 15th century to punish people who opposed its beliefs, known for its cruel and severe methods.
The purpose for inquisitional penalties were described in the handbook of inquisitors from 1578: “"... for punishment does not take place primarily and per se for the correction and good of the person punished, but for the public good in order that others may become terrified and weaned away from the evils they would commit."

Goal: The goal of the Inqusition was to purify the European countries from people who denied the Catholic god and law. The inquisition used torture as a tool to achieve this purpose, thereby protecting and preserving religion and believes.

Target group: The people who were deemed criminals by the Inquisition was Heretics, people who denied canon law, Jews, witches and islamists. The Inquisition did even persecute people, who believed in natural medicine, because it was against the established Catholic laws.

Role of the inquisition: The inquisition handed over convicted and prominent heretics to secular authorities for judgmental purposes. The remaining convicts and people characterized as criminals by the Inquisition, was dealt with by the inquisition themselves.
