Answer:

In the middle of the twelfth century,a distinctive new architecture known today as Gothic emerged in the Île-de-France,the French royal domain around Paris (MAP 16 1). The appearance there of a new style and technique of building coincided with the emergence of the monarchy as a powerful centralizing force.
