Imagine living in a society where your social and economic rank determined the type of clothing you could wear. Quite frankly, I would not have survived in a society that dictated what I can or cannot wear. I would feel suppressed, as if someone was taking away my freedom. I strongly believe that what we wear defines us more than we think. In other words, fashion is an expression of who we are as an individual. However, this was not the case during the medieval period. The clothing in medieval Europe was dictated by the Pyramid of Power or a feudal system. Fashion during the medieval period was not just only about clothing, rather it dealt with economic…

The Sumptuary Laws were a set of restrictions that were placed, depending on the social class, to regulate luxury and extravagance. As a result of the Sumptuary Laws in the Elizabethan Age, each social class had a limit on what type of clothing could be worn.…

Many historians think that The Middle Ages is a time period of nescience, where few or no improvement took place. The Church was the midpoint of consideration, and in place of rational perspective of the world, beliefs took shape around superstition. On the other hand, following the Middle Ages there was a specific era labeled as the Reneissance where education and developments became revival. It was like a bridge between medieval times and modern history.That is why, the Renaissance was seen as a archetype of the current world and changed people’s way of life, sight of art and scientific…
Finally, as many people look at the Middle Ages as a time in which many great and barbaric things took place, not only of people really noticed any other things. One thing that many people tend to skip by would be the different types of clothing that the era showed off. And that very type of clothing would be the Farthingale. A farthingale was a bell-shaped hoopskirt worn under the skirts of well-to-do women, in which first originated in Spain. It was only worn by the wealthy class, as the commoners would wear only gowns. And because of that, it proves itself to be quite recognizable toward most of queens back then as they were the ones who worn it. However, it wasn’t just a sense of fashion at the time; it served itself as an important part…

Design and architecture was also an important part of medieval European culture. The plague tore at the lavish artistic European lifestyle in another very evident way. It halted the production of intricate, aesthetically pleasing architecture. It is known that, “because of the Black Death and the recession the building industry was also affected. Building in the medieval Europe would never be as extravagant as in the century before the Black Death. If the Black Death did indeed have a direct impact on landowner building practices, it was chiefly in the area of self defense.” The plague pressured people to begin designing more practical, stronger buildings that would be able to protect them from the inescapable wrath of the Plague. This lead…
A common saying that we hear today is, “history repeats itself” but how true is it? We have many examples of this but what really matters is that we are learning from history. One example is the business practices today and those from almost a millennium ago. If one takes the time to look at business practices today and those shown in the medieval documents, they are quite similar. “The Venetian Commada or Collegantia” provides medieval documents that discuss entrepreneurship and it’s common today, it’s even seen in television shows like the one called “Shark Tank.”…
The Medieval Church had a large role in the Middle Ages and everyone's daily life revolved around the church. In the Middle Ages, when there was a weakened government, the church rises in power and becomes more of a political role. The church had all control over the people. Peasants worked for no pay on the church land. Also, the church didn't pay any taxes which saved them a lot of money making them more wealthy than any king of England at this period of time. Some of the money the church received was spent to build cathedrals, churches and monasteries, and by constructing these buildings, it showed the church's wealth.…
