and insightful journey through the intellectual, social, political, economic, and cultural history of
Europe. Thank you for joining the class.

TERMS: 75 points
PARAGRAPHS:
It is a useful study habit and technique to work with vocabulary/terms/ or people, places or
things. If you do these well, you will have a good set of notes for unit tests, quizzes and the all-
important AP exam. Since we will cover the Renaissance period at the beginning of school and
have a test within the first two-three weeks of school, these terms provide important
foundations for our first unit.
Listed below is a helpful guide to correctly “doing” or completing terms from an AP Euro site.
Please follow this format when completing your list.
Terms do not have to be in complete sentences, but they must be in your own words. The
TERMS are listed in the below. Savonarola is already done. You DO NOT have to rewrite it.
Do not copy from the book. Use your own words.TERMS MUST BE clearly handwritten and
should provide the following information:
Ø Who or what is it?
Ø When and where?
Ø What happened or what did they do?
Ø Was there anyone/anything else involved?
Ø Why did it happen? Why is it historically significant?
Ø If it is a person, you must include any books/works of art, etc. associated with
the person in the text
ATTENTION--Students MUST use MULTIPLE colors of BALLPOINT PENS OR fine point
Sharpie!
Savonarola
 Dominican friar
 Florence (1452-1498)
 Concerned about morality of Florence and the corruption of its leaders, the de’ Medici
family
 Had a large following with his inflammatory sermons that warned about punishment
from God which Savonarola saw as French King Charles VII’s invasion in 1494.
 Savonarola became a leader of Florence for a time, instigating the “bonfires of the
vanities” until he was excommunicated by the Pope and killed.
 Shows instability of Italian city-states, the influence of stronger powers (France), and the
start of political domination of the Italian city states by foreign powers (France/ HRE)
