史詩敘述的故事發生在查理大帝時代。查理大帝出兵西班牙，征討摩爾人即阿拉伯人，歷時7年，只剩下薩拉哥撒還沒有被征服。薩拉哥撒王馬爾西勒遣使求和。查理決定派人前去談判，但大家知道馬爾西勒陰險狡詐，去談判是冒險之事。查理大帝接受其侄兒羅蘭的建議，決定讓羅蘭的繼父、查理的妹夫加奈隆（又：噶努倫）前往。加奈隆由此對羅蘭懷恨在心，決意報復。在談判時他和敵人勾結，定下毒計：在查理歸國途中襲擊他的后隊。加奈隆回報查理大帝，說薩拉哥撒的臣服是實情，于是查理決定班師回國，并接受加奈隆的建議由羅蘭率領后隊。當羅蘭的軍隊行至荊棘谷，突然遭到10萬摩爾兵的伏擊。羅蘭率軍英勇迎戰，但因眾寡懸殊，終于全軍覆滅，羅蘭英勇戰死。羅蘭的好友奧里維曾三次勸他吹起號角，呼喚查理回兵來救，都被羅蘭拒絕。直到最后才吹起號角，但為時已晚。查理大帝趕到，看到的只是遍野橫陳的法蘭克人的尸體。查理率軍追擊，大敗敵人。回國以后，將賣國賊加奈隆處死。theNibelungenlied

(尼伯龍根之歌)《尼伯龍根之歌》（Nibelungenlied）是著名的中世紀中古高地德語敘事詩，講述的是古代勃艮第（Burgundians）國王的故事，大約創作于1190-1200年，作者不詳。作者融合了很多異教的故事題材和源自5世紀口頭英雄傳說，以此為材料創作了這篇史詩。“尼伯龍根”這個詞有幾種不同的含義。一是指詩中描寫的勃艮第國王們，二是指齊格弗里德（Siegfried）的部下們；三是傳說日爾曼侏儒種族中的一支。Siegfried西格弗里德Kriemhild克倫希爾德/MyLemmaShow.aspx?lid=211040DanteAlighieri(1265-1321)andTheDivineComedyItalybecamethecentreofEuropeanculturefromthe13thcentury.Dantewasthegreatestpoet,literarytheorist,moralphilosopherandpoliticalthinkerwhobelieved“LovetakespeopleeventuallytoGod,andisthebasicprincipleoftheuniverseandoforder.”masterpieceTheDivineComedylandmarkersofworldliteratureinItalian《地獄》(Inferno,Hell)《煉獄》（Purgatorio,Purgatory)《天堂》（Paradiso,Paradise)/doc/4476445.htmlGeoffreyChaueer（1340-1400）andTheCanterburyTales

特點哥特式建筑的特點是尖塔高聳、尖形拱門、大窗戶及繪有圣經故事的花窗玻璃。在設計中利用尖肋拱頂、飛扶壁、修長的束柱，營造出輕盈修長的飛天感。新的框架結構以增加支撐頂部的力量，使整個建筑以直升線條、雄偉的外觀和教堂內空闊空間，常結合鑲著彩色玻璃的長窗，使教堂內產生一種濃厚的宗教氣氛。科隆大教堂德國科隆大教堂威斯敏斯特大教堂巴黎圣母院ConclusionTheMiddleAgeswasaperiodofimportantbeginningsandatimewhenthechurchcametodominatetheculturaloutlookoftheWest.theChristianreligiontookadeepholdonthemindsofpeopleandonsociety,coloringalmostallaspectsoflifeandofdeath.However,whilethechurchincreaseditspower,apersonalnotewasintroducedintobeliefint
