What was it like?

The world around 1519: 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.

Poor rural laborers often owned only one set of clothing, sometimes in such disrepair that it barely covered their bodies. This clothing was a valuable asset often included in wills and dowries, and even used to pay funeral taxes.
