Unit 19: Germany, The Popes, and the Rise of Spain
[dropcap type=”box”]A[/dropcap]s we have learned in previous units, The Holy Roman Empire in Germany and the Papacy in Rome didn’t always get along. After Frederick Barabosa and his successor, Conrad IV, there were no emperors for 19 years. After this period the Nobles passed the crown from one house to another. During this time, the Empire shrank; and Italy was entirely lost to the Empire, and it became a series of great independent republics.
In other parts of Europe, Spain was on the rise. Since the eighth century, Spain had been under the control of the Arabs. While the Arabs allowed the Christian nobles to practice Christianity, they often demanded they pay taxes to do so.

Unit Description
As we have learned in previous units, The Holy Roman Empire in Germany and the Papacy in Rome didn’t always get along. After Frederick Barabosa and his successor, Conrad IV, there were no emperors for 19 years. After this period the Nobles passed the crown from one house to another. During this time, the Empire shrank; and Italy was entirely lost to the Empire, and it became a series of great independent republics.
In other parts of Europe, Spain was on the rise. Since the eighth century, Spain had been under the control of the Arabs. While the Arabs allowed the Christian nobles to practice Christianity, they often demanded they pay taxes to do so.
