Never mind progess, at least as some people would term it, in the arts.

Ditto.

Or the Renaissance.

That didn’t happen because of a tendency for
people to disagree or argue about almost everything.

Oh yes it did, The Rennaisance came about as a result of
different artists being sponsored by rulers of competing
Italian City States who were at constant war with each
other. Painting and sculpture became status symbols which
is what led to the developement of different styles.
It applied to the other arts as well. The stulifying
effect of Roman Catholicism was being challenged
on all sides and by all sorts of competing
influences. That of classical world for a start,
humanism blah blah.

Clearly you're equally clueless about everything
else as well, particularly the "Norman Yoke". I
can only suggest you look it up again.
