It was an age replete with war, famine, and disease. Oscar Brockett wrote that the bulk of western European society then was comprised of peasants ruled over by secular and religious leaders. He painted a grim picture of people simply struggling to survive with the arts having more less fallen by the wayside: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">\u2026the arts held a precarious foothold in this insecure world. Building in stone almost ceased, and art objects were intentionally kept small so they might be transported easily in times of upheaval. --Oscar Brockett<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Middle Ages saw the rise of feudalism and during that time the church was presenting liturgical dramas for missionary and educational purposes. These in turn gave rise to morality plays around the 14th century, the High Middle Ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the years, feudalism began to give way to kings and the power of cities. Guilds began to form. These same guilds took over presenting plays and the church stepped back to overseeing the content of the plays.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-dark-red-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few dates from the 16th century to center <em>Everyman<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-dark-red-color has-text-color wp-block-list\"><li>1503: Da Vinci begins painting the Mona Lisa.<\/li><li>1509: Henry VIII became King of England. <\/li><li>1517: Martin Luther introduced his<em> 95 Theses<\/em> in Germany starting the Protestant Reformation.<\/li><li>1519- 21: Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s leads the Spanish conquest of Mexico.<\/li><li>1530: <em>The Summoning of Everyman<\/em> was published.<\/li><li>1531- 32: The Church of England breaks away from the Roman Catholic Church.
