What was it like?

The world around 1500: who ruled, who else was alive, how people lived. This is general history, not a record about the family, and every item shows where it comes from.

Clothing items often had a second life; they were frequently unpicked and reused to repair or decorate other garments. In 1525, about 7.5% of items in a nobleman's inventory were documented as having been repurposed in this way.
