Often illustrated, these records featured intricate designs, including coats of arms and symbolic motifs, to signify noble status and heritage. They served both as a means of asserting social legitimacy and as a visual representation of familial connections across generations. The emphasis was on noble bloodlines, reflecting the feudal structure of society at the time.

The main event of the fifteenth century was the Age of Exploration, marked by significant voyages that expanded European knowledge of the world. Notable figures such as Christopher Columbus, who reached the Americas in 1492, and Vasco da Gama, who found a sea route to India in 1498, were pivotal in this era. This period also saw the fall of Constantinople in 1453, which shifted trade routes and power dynamics, ultimately leading to the rise of European empires. These explorations had profound impacts on global trade, cultural exchanges, and the eventual colonization of various regions.
