Was there a difference between medival england and spain?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Medieval England stretched from 1066, the year in which William, Duke of Normandy, won the crown at the Battle of Hastings, until 1485, when Henry Tudor defeated Richard III and became Henry VII.

In 1066, Spain was under the rule of Arabs, as it had been since AD 711. In 1066, a Spanish Christian hero known as El Cid might have been alive and trying to reconquer Spanish provinces. In 1492, Ferdinand and Isabella, rulers of a united Spain, conquered Granada from the last Arab ruler of a Spansh province.

They did listen to the same kind of music. They wore the same kinds of clothes. The music was either church music, as in Gregorian chants. Or it was a dance music that is interesting and pleasing to me, but might seem strange to you. In that age, they did not wear curly wigs or tight stockings: That's so eighteenth century! They wore heavy brocaded robes that were hard to keep clean, got encrusted with dirt, and smelled. There was no dry cleaning in those days.
