NOW: read the passage silently and think of questions you might ask

Between 1000 and 1200, many women became nuns and entered convents. Convents were ideal places for study and writing. Most learned women of the Middle Ages were nuns. An example was Hildegard of Bingen. She was head of the convent in western Germany. Hildegard also composed church music. Her work is remarkable because at that time, men were primarily the ones writing music for the church.

QQ: Germanic Kingdoms

Have you every moved to a new place? What adjustments did you have to make? In this section, we have read how the Germanic people who invaded Europe had to adjust to the lands they occupied.

The Holy Roman Empire

Why did people in the Middle Ages believe that a strong, king like Otto should lead a kingdom called the Holy Roman Empire? Why did people fee the need to associate a ruler with both the Christian church and the Roman Empire?
