A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . edom and in slowly accumulating wealtli, to takepart in works of this character. Secular architecture (Figs. 54-58)kept pace with ecclesiastical. Royal and episcopal palaces roseby the side of the mighty cathedrals, while the more numerously 126 WESTERN CIVILIZATION FROM 1050 TO 1150. peopled cities made rapid advances in the constniction of moreartistically fortified strongholds. For Germany it suffices to referto the Cathedral f)f Spires — the work of Conrad II. and HenryIV. — and to that of Mayence, the two most renowned of thoseglorious structures that the rivalry of prelates and princes tliencalled into existence in such surprising numbers. In France themost noteworthy are the great church of St. Severin at Toulouse, andthe graceful edifice in honor of St. Stephen (St. Etienne) at Caen ;in England, the cathedrals of Winchester and Peterborough. Allof these churches, while retaining the characteristic features of theRomanesque stjde, show variations in detail and ornamentation.
