Medieval Europe - 1050-1500 In medieval Europe, monarchs and the Church held sway as the two dominant forces. Throughout this period, they vied for control of the realm. Society was structured around a feudal system, with most people toiling as peasants on land owned by their lord. However, rapid urban growth and an influential merchant class fueled prosperity and reshaped traditional social hierarchies. This gruesome head with a protruding tongue may have been crafted for Bishop Roger of Salisbury's castle (1107-39). The bishop owned castles at Sherborne and Devizes. Grotesques were also found in church architecture, likely serving as purely decorative elements. This object is part of "Scan The World".
