(Whitters) His father was Roger Gerard, who was a priest, and his mother was Margaret. He had one elder half brother named Peter. When Erasmus was young both of his parents had died from the plague leaving him an orphan. He was given into the care of a religious group and monastery school called the Brethren of the Common Life.  (Whitters) Erasmus received his earliest education in Catholic teaching.  This is where he began questioning religious practices.  He developed an interest in classical literature, philosophy, and the humanist movement.  (Whitters) His education had to stop though because he didn’t have enough money and he became a monk.  This allowed him to have access to many books which helped him study the classics and humanist ideas]]> 2023-10-17 00:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bshaw27_1_1/hcncw96ize2cv4cg/wish/2749704472 Erasmus's Renaissance Contributions bshaw27_1_1 https://padlet.com/bshaw27_1_1/hcncw96ize2cv4cg/wish/2749715846 The three most important things Erasmus accomplished was educational reform, religious criticism and reform, and humanist thought]]> 2023-10-17 00:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bshaw27_1_1/hcncw96ize2cv4cg/wish/2749715846 Erasmus's Late Years bshaw27_1_1 https://padlet.com/bshaw27_1_1/hcncw96ize2cv4cg/wish/2750631659 Overall, Erasmus is best known for humanist thought and promoting religious reform.  He helped create the path for religious and educational change and allowed future generations to question the normal beliefs and systems.  He certainly left his mark on history and showed me what individual thinking can achieve.   
Sadly, on July 12, 1536 after suffering with kidney stones and arthritis, he died in Basel, Switzerland at the age of 69. (Erasmus’ Last Years)
