For this essay, I would take the definition of Europe to be what the ruling entity at that time
is. Yan Brekilien wrote The meaning of the word Europe has never changed. Everyone
knows what it is and has the same notion of Europe as someone from the Middle Ages or the
Enlightenment.1 This statement would not hold true in comparison between the Europe of
the Middle Ages and the Europe during the Enlightenment period. This is due to many
reasons and because of the fact that the definition of Europe is fluid, changing with each time
period. The reasons could be the maps and the ruling entities available during the each time
period. For example, in the Middle Ages, the definition was one that involved Christendom.
A definition that contrasts with the definition of Europe in the Middle Ages in the one during
the Enlightenment period. The definition was one that encompassed a weakening Holy
Roman Empire about to turn over its reign to France2.
As stated in the introduction, maps are one of the many reasons that change the definition of
Europe. This is because a nation or an entity is defined by boundaries, and boundaries were
subject to change due to geopolitical events, reflecting the concerns of the times3. Despite
what Yan Breklilien stated, the definition of Europe does change. As evident by appendix A
and B, even the maps show that what was defined as Europe in the beginning of the Middle
Ages was not the same as the definition at the end of it. At the start of the Middle Ages,
beginning of the 5th Century, Europe was defined in the maps as being the Roman Empire.
Even then, the word Europe does not have the same meaning that it does in todays society;
and the definition of Europe was restricted to the tribes that the Roman Empire had united

during its reign.4 In addition, what the maps had essentially defined as Europe in the 5 th
Century had changed by the end of the Middle Ages, which was around the 15th Century.
The maps in the 15th century showed the boundaries of Europe to be what was considered the
Holy Roman Empire5. (See Appendix B) The Holy Roman Empire lasted from the year 800
to 1806 and were ruled German kings who usually received imperial coronation by the
Roman popes.6 During this time, the geographical borders had shifted and shrunk due to the
Reformation and the Thirty Year War7. At the end of the Middle Ages the maps of the empire
consisted of many small states and larger states such as Bohemia, Savoy, Milan, Provence.
The larger states further prove that Yan Brekiliens statement is not valid because the states
of Milan and Provence, in the Enlightenment were already part of Renaissance Italy, which
was not created during the 15th Century. Therefore, it would be wrong to say that the
definition of Europe has remained the same because by the end of the Middle Ages, Europe
was no longer defined as the Roman Empire, it was defined as the Holy Roman Empire. It is
also because Europe can be defined by its member states, thus, the creation or demise of the
states would have changed the meaning of Europe. The definition of Europe in the Middle
Ages is contrasted with the Europe in the Enlightenment.
The beginning of the enlightenment is usually given as the 18th Century8. In the
Enlightenment, Europe still consisted of the Holy Roman Empire. However, their boundaries
have greatly shrunk, as evident in Appendix B and C. This shrinkage, as stated in the

paragraph above, was due to the Reformation and the Thirty Years War, both of which
happened before the Enlightenment. The reason that the definition of Europe during the
Enlightenment changed is more to do with the fact that the power and influence of the Holy
Roman Empire has wane and thus, the axis of power shifted from the Holy Roman Empire to
France.9
Ergo, with the shifting of power, the definition of Europe would have been changed
once again because in relation to maps, each empire would have created boundaries that were
specific to their empire. In addition, it is during the Enlightenment that the identity of modern
Europe has started to form. In addition to maps changing the definition of Europe, the ruling
entities of the Middle Ages and the Enlightenment would have also changed the notion of
Europe because they would have brought in their customs, religion and their political
systems. This would have impacted to the mode of living in the geographic region.
The beginning of the Middle Ages was ruled by the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire
definition of Europe in the Middle Ages with customs, religion and political system. Some of
the customs of the Roman Empire in the Middle Ages was wearing the toga, carrying the
bride over the threshold of their home10
, and the class system. The class systems was a
hierarchy of citizens with the emperor at the top, followed by the senate, the equestrians and
lastly, the plebeians and the slaves11. Towards the end of the Roman Empire, just before and
during the start of the Middle Ages, Christianity became the state religion of the Roman
Empire. This would have further impact because Christianity would be part of the defining
characteristics of Europe in the later years.12
The political system that was part of this empire

consisted of an autocratic rule with the emperor making most of the decisions. Towards the
end of the Middle ages and for most of the Enlightenment, the Holy Roman empire came into
power, and with it, another set of changes.
The Holy Roman Empire had also brought their customs, religion and political system when
they came into power. Many new customs would have been introduced because the new
empire has its background in the Germanic tribes.13Some of the customs included tribal
institutions, ethnic patterns and oral and artistic traditions14. While the Germanic tribes that
eventually made up the Holy Roman Empire adopted Christianity as their religion15, the
religion of the Holy Roman Empire was Roman Catholicism. The political system at that
time was elective monarchy. The Roman Empire and the Holy Roman Empires differing
customs, religion and political system would have changed the notion of Europe because as
the introduction stated, the definition of Europe is fluid, always changing.
In addition to being defined by maps and ruling entities, Europe can also be defined by a
number of categories such as geographically, by language, the political atmosphere or by
cultural ovement. Europe geographically has always remained the same. It is bordered by
Asia, Arctic, Africa and by North America, and unlike the other definitions of Europe, the
geographical definition is independent of other factors. Besides geography, language could
also define Europe.

Language could determine the definition of Europe because it is dependent on the ruling
entity or empire at the time. This is because the lingua franca would reflect who the current
empire or the superpower is.16 Besides reflecting the empire or the superpower, lingua franca
changes the definition of Europe because if Yan Brekiliens statement is true, it would mean
that Europes lingua franca would always remain the same. With this statement in mind, the
meaning of Europe would be different in the Middle Ages and in the Enlightenment period.
This is because in the Middle Ages, the lingua franca at the beginning would have Latin due
to the rule of the Roman Empire. After the collapse of the Roman Empire and the
establishment of the Holy Roman Empire, the lingua franca then would have been German,
as it is the language of the German kings who ruled the Holy Roman Empire. In the
Enlightenment period, after the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, the lingua franca then
would be French. This is due to the fact that after the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, the
French was the dominant power in Europe.
Another factor that caused a change in the definition of Europe in the Middle Ages and in the
Enlightenment is the political atmosphere. Political atmosphere or environment is defined as
political events affecting opportunities at an international or local level17. In the Middle Ages,
after the fall of the Roman Empire, the political atmosphere was one of the crusades. The
crusades were religiously sanctioned military campaigns against the Muslims because Pope
Urban II wanted to regain the holy land of Jerusalem.18
This particularly defined Europe in

the Middle Ages because during this time, the papacy had political influence with the
monarchy as they had the right to elect, crown, and even depose emperors.19
In contrast, the political atmosphere in the Enlightenment was one that was moving away
from the church, to a more scientific thought. In addition, this was the time where there was a
sense of logic; that Truth can be arrived at through empirical observation, the use of reason,
and systematic doubt. 20 Moving away from the church could be seen as a change in the
political atmosphere because the church in the Middle Ages had a political association with
the monarchies. Thus, as a consequence of this move, people began to rely more on science,
reason and logic. This move away from the church is also seen as a difference in defining
Europe. Another area of the political atmosphere in the Enlightenment is that with the move
away from the church, the people of Europe began to define themselves as being Europeans;
they started to have an identity that bound them together.21 This also marks an important
change in the definition of Europe because before the Enlightenment, the people that lived on
the continent of Europe have not defined themselves as being European22, they were defined
as part of the Roman Empire, or after that, part of the Holy Roman Empire. Therefore, Yan
Brekiliens statement that Europe in the Middle Ages had the same definition of Europe in
the Enlightenment in not accurate.
A fourth way that caused the difference in definition of Europe in the Middle Ages and the
Enlightenment is in the cultural movement. The definition of cultural movement is given as

a group of people working together to advance certain cultural goals23 The cultural
movement would cause a difference in definition because Europe is defined by the
happenings inside its borders. Therefore, a change in a cultural movement would cause a
change in definition. The cultural movement in the Middle Ages was the Renaissance. It was
marked by having influences on the science, philosophy, religion and politics24
. In the
Enlightenment period, the cultural movement was the Age of Enlightenment. This movement
brought industrial revolution and the rise of the public sphere.25 Thus, because of the different
events that took place in Europe at both historical periods, the definition at both periods
would be different because each cultural movement would come to symbolize what Europe
of the time was doing.
At the end of this essay, there is a lot of evidence that show that Yan Brekiliens statement
that the definition of Europe will remain the same throughout the ages is inaccurate. This is
because Europe is influenced by maps, ruling entities, language, political atmosphere and
cultural movement. In addition, further evidence is given against Brekiliens statement
because even within the same time period, the definition of Europe is also shifting. The
example for this statement is for the Middle Ages because the start of the Middle Ages was
ruled by the Roman Empire but the end was ruled by the Germanic kings of the Holy Roman
Empire.
