Before we get into the assignment, here is a link to some gorgeous music from the Late Middle Ages, to get you inspired:

Now, on to the assignment. 

Once again we will have a debate about sacred and secular power. If you were on the Papalist side last time, you will take the Royalist side, and vice versa. If you've forgotten which side you were on last time, look back at the assignment for Week 4 and take the opposite side this time.

You must still read all the sources, but as with last time, each side has to pay attention to a few in particular (listed for each side below). REMEMBER THAT SOME OF THESE SOURCES ARE FORGERIES. It may be helpful to your argument if you take this into account. Forgeries can still be historically valuable documents! And they can certainly support a frothy argument. There are also some sources that are useful to both sides, either because they are moderate or because they present both sides of the argument. They're listed last. 

For the Royalists:
Colonna Cardinals (176-178)
Attack on Boniface (190-191)
Pierre Dubois (203-205)

For the Papalists: 
Clericis Laicos (175-176)
Ausculta Fili, Address of Boniface, Unam Sanctam (185-189)
Giles of Rome (198-200

Useful for both sides:
Disputatio inter Clericum et Militem (200-203
John of Paris (206-210)

Writing Assignment:

How has your side in the debate (for this week) changed over time between the Investiture Controversy and Philip vs. Boniface? Has their position become more or less extreme? Provide two examples from this week's reading to support your answer.

Answers should be 250-300 words and include specific details and page numbers from the reading.

Grading:

The purpose of these assignments is to demonstrate that you've done the reading and learned something from it. You should make sure to address all parts of the question and provide specifics like names, places, context, and page numbers in your answers.

For example, if you say that someone gave a speech before a battle, I'm going to want to know who gave the speech (names), which battle it was (context), and where it was (places). I also want to know what page(s) this material is on. Although these are short writing assignments, you still want to provide details (history is all about the details).

100% - addresses all parts of the question and provides details like names, places, context, and page numbers.

90% - addresses all parts of the question, but may lack some detail -OR- provides great detail but does not answer part of the question.

80% - answer is correct, but vague, one or more parts of the question may be unanswered.

70% - answer is very vague and multiple parts of the question are unanswered.

50% - I suspect that you read the source, but your answer totally lacks detail and doesn't demonstrate that you learned anything from the reading.

0% - It's clear that you didn't read the source, or you didn't turn in a writing assignment.
