What was it like?

The world around 1439: 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.

Peasant women typically wore an apron over their dress throughout the day because most household chores were messy. This apron often extended to the feet and could also cover their torso.

Known for

Otto V, known as the Victorious or the Magnanimous, served as the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and the Prince of Lüneburg from 1457 until his death. He ruled alongside his brother, Bernard, until Bernard died in 1464.
