History Flashcards
Money and the church 4
Peasants worked for free on church land so the church didn’t have to spend money on paying the workers
There was a tax for the church called tithes which if you didn’t pay you would go to hell
You had to pay for marriages, baptisms and burials, you had to be buried on holy land if your soul was to go to heaven
The church didn’t have to pay taxes
They show their wealth through magnificent buildings
Religion 4
The King believed in it so you did too
You wouldn’t go to heaven if you didn’t go believe
You would earn money if you were high in the hierarchy
You would be disowned by your community if you didn’t believe
