What was it like?

The world around 1400: 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.

Both men and women carried belts, which served as essential storage for household items like keys, leather pouches, and knives. Married women used their belts to keep keys to the farm.
