Renaissance

Witches who were convicted (either by townspeople or by a Church authority) were usually burned at the stake. Many of the "trials", however, were heavily biased against the defendants. Tests included throwing the witch into a river or pond; if she floated she was guilty.

This movement was made possible by the Reformation of the Church, a decline in Conservatism, the work of individuals such as Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey and technological advances. All of these took place during the Renaissance period.[2]

I would think that the Europeans what at least destroy many of the things that comes in there way.

The power of individual monarchs greatly increased during the

'Reniassance' era, for example King Henry VIII of England greatly

consolidated his power after the Reformation in england. Monarchys

became absolute in a way that they had not been in the medieval era.

It was the era when slavery, which had virtually died out in Europe

during the medieval era, began to flourish again as slaves were needed

to work in the new colonies founded in the Americas and the Caribbean.

Opportunities for women to engage in trade and business dwindled

during the Renaissance period, as women were squeezed out of many

lucrative trades they had formerly worked in, like weaving for

example.

Absolutely they did, and across most major cultures. The understanding of Faeries has changed over time however. In older times, they were often believed to be malevolent or cruel pranksters who would torment humans by pinching them or shooting them with "fairy darts". They would spoil the milk, lead travelers astray, or do otherwise precocious things, for reasons humans could only guess at (though there are a myriad of superstitions about what might irk a fairy).

Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, played a large part in redefining how the common people understood faeries. Titania and Oberon (the faerie Queen and King respectively) were the Renaissance version of today's Tinkerbell - completely fiction pulled from the imagination of the author. He portrayed them as having their own courtly politics that sometimes get crossed with humans, but not as being particularly cruel, so much as humorous in their pranks. More jovial and ultimately as somewhat friendly.

Another way to get an idea of how the Renaissance may have viewed the Fae, is to read The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser. Although it is an allegory to Queen Elizabeth and her court, there are reflections of the magical world therein.

The difference is than the quattrocento has reference to four (cuatro) and cinquecento has reference to five(cinco)

Around 1300 A.D. There are many disagreements on when exacly the Reniassance started.

The daughter of a wealthy family was always much younger then the man she married, and her father would pay large downy to her husband's family

the church no longer had the authority it enjoyed earlier. people began questioning the unreasonable norms and practices of the church. many scientists like newton and da vinci came to the fore which lead to many scientific discoveries. an ability of reasoning and questioning developed in the minds of the common people.

many artforms also developed conisderably well.

Nobody coined the term "Renaissance." Renaissance is an actual part of the French language. It literally means "rebirth."

BTW I don't speak French, but this is common knowledge for anyone studying European History.

Actually, it was the other way around. People began to explore which means they brought back new things and ideas that lead to the Renaissance. The rebirth of culture, art and thinking that had been lost for a 1000 years. This lead to questions about man and God which lead to the Reformation and it just built on each other. It is all connected and depends on the other for the movement forward leading to the modern world.

Florence is ground zero of the Renaissance . The Medci family ran Florence and were sponsors of some of the great artists. They commissioned statue of David, helped pay for the Florence Domo ( one of the first domed churches), and built palaces with walls filled with art.

The effects of trade has an effect on the economy and the government.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of early Renaissance art is that they used naturalism. The subjects of the art are put in natural and realistic poses.
