Getting around
Pack animals dominated 16th-century travel
In the 16th century, travel across mountain routes was done exclusively by pack animals like mules, as carriages could not navigate the terrain. Large carts used on flat roads were often pulled by oxen, while carriages were rare and uncomfortable, lacking suspension.
In the news1525
Peasant rebellion suppressed in 1525
In May 1525, Duke Antoine of Lorraine massacred a large peasant army at Saverne to suppress an insurrection that threatened the duchy.
Daily life
Dining arrangements in the home
Florentine homes lacked dedicated dining rooms; instead, tables were set up wherever convenient, such as in front of a fireplace during winter. Food was passed to diners who sat only on one side of the table.
What people wore
Jewelry and accessory limits for women
Regulations in 1516 limited young women to wearing no more than three rings decorated with precious stones or pearls and permitted a single gold necklace weighing no more than six ounces. Women were also permitted to carry a small penknife and a hair-parter as functional accessories.
Music
Recycling popular tunes for religious hymns
Popular Carnival melodies were often recycled for religious use as hymns through a process called contrafacture, allowing people to sing spiritual texts to familiar tunes.
At the table
Meat reserved for special celebrations
Meat was reserved for special occasions like holidays, and when a family slaughtered a pig, they typically offered blood sausage to neighbors as a gesture of friendship.
