Frankreich im 16.
Jahrhundert
Le Poulet Gauche
This is a guide to the history,
culture, and daily life of 16th century France.
It is designed to be a resource for historical
recreation.
 The
sixteenth century in Europe was a time of
unprecedented change. It was the beginning of the
modern era, and it saw a revolution in almost
every aspect of life. The century opened with the
discovery of a new continent. The renaissance in
Italy was peaking and spreading north, even
arriving in backwaters like England. Life was
largely prosperous for the average person, the
economy was growing. The mechanisms of commerce,
systems of international finance, ocean-going
trading fleets, an entrepreneurial bourgeoisie,
were all building a recognizably capitalist, money-based
economy. Geniuses were stepping all over each
other on the street corners producing scientific
innovation after innovation. Technological
innovations like gunpowder were changing the
nature of warfare and the military caste nature
of society -- the cannon probably had a great
deal to do with the rise of the centralized
nation state as we know it. The printing press
created a media revolution. It brought ideas,
partisan rhetoric, and how-to manuals to the
people. Most of all, it brought the Bible, in its
original tongues and in the vernacular, to the
masses. A spirit of inquiry, a desire to return
to first principles, was blowing through the
Church, which had been the unifying cultural
foundation of Europe for a millenium.
The first half of the century saw
what contemporaries viewed as the most
earth-shattering change in the century: the Reformation.
