Question

Evaluate the impact of the Renaissance on one European country excluding Italy, Burgundy and Germany.

Markscheme

The question requires that candidates make an appraisal of the impact of the Renaissance on one European country that existed between 1400 and 1600, except Burgundy or those areas now incorporated into Italy and Germany. There may be consideration of the direct impact on the arts, the impact on political developments and ideas (such as the creation of a Renaissance monarchy), or there may be a focus on social and economic developments. When considering the impact of the Renaissance on ideas, the spread of humanism may be considered. In some countries, the Renaissance contributed to the growth of secular education whereas in others, in Spain for example, the Renaissance had a limited impact.
