Rennaissance some say it was marriage policy

About the time that Oxford University was constructed, I found this off of a web page, "For the most part the church was involved in the ceremonies that took place. The Council of Westminster had decreed in 1076 that no man should give his daughter or female relative to anyone without priestly blessing."

I'm trying to remember conservative criticism and the beginning of the rennaissance is kind of a gotcha question.  They have changed the definition of it a bit, the voyage of Christopher Columbus seams to define the beginning or the end, depending on how you define the eras.  This drops the "high middle ages" era.

Another issue - the dowry - in the rennaissance the bride kept it for life.  Like, duh.  I don't have date for that.
