Taifa of Barcelona (Age of Charlemagne) Civil Tier 13

Court Power

In the early Middle Ages, due to the rise of Christianity and Islam, there was a significant rise in the power that religion held over every aspect of society. This was particularly true of lawmaking and judgement in civil and criminal cases in Islamic society. The Sassanids, who were the premier power in the near east before the Caliphate, considered law and religion intrinsic to each other; their god Zoroaster was the arbiter of justice who presided over legal affairs through his priesthood. Likewise, the law of the Caliphate considered religious and legal matters one and the same, and also controlled everyday practices such as fasting and hygiene. As a result, religion and society were bound together - with Islamic law thought to be the immutable word of God.
