Although the [[Renaissance]] was a time of significant change in comparison to the [[Middle Ages]], there were times of both peace and prosperity, and war, disease and famine. For the average man in the street (or [[village]]) daily life had changed little since the [[Middle Ages]]. Diet was similar, life was short (an average life expectancy of 30 - 35 years in most parts of [[Europe]], with perhaps a 50% child mortality rate within the first year of life), and war and disease were commonplace. |

In comparison to the [[14th century]], however, the [[15th century]] and the [[16th century]] were both times of population growth, economic growth, and relative prosperity, especially for the town people and those of privilege. |

Those who lived in areas where economic growth was strongest, including [[Italy]] and [[the Netherlands]] could certainly expect to be better dressed and perhaps better educated in this period than, say, 100 years earlier, even if they were not significantly better fed. |

There was great religious unrest during this period, in most cases caused by the questioning of [[Church dogma]]. This became widespread, not only amongst intellectuals but amongst those furthest from the influence of [[Rome]] as well. This unrest lead to the [[Reformation]] and the resulting [[Wars of religion]]. |

Political unrest was rife as well. After a significant flowering of the arts in [[Italy]] during the mid to late [[15th century]], it all changed when [[Charles VIII of France]] kicked the door down and began the [[Italian wars]]. The resulting conflicts, with all of the stresses of wars, lasted until [[1525]] or so. |
|||
The contrasts of the [[Renaissance]] are thus illustrated -- while life in [[Florence, Italy]] during the mid to late [[15th century]] could be luxurious, comfortable, and full of learning; life in northern [[Italy]] during the [[Italian wars]] could be nasty, brutish, and short. |
|||
One of the significant effects of the [[Renaissance]] was to spread learning and education, largely by the effects of [[Humanism]] which extracted learning from being the province of the [[Church]] (see [[Scholasticism]]) and spreading it more widely. This lead to both educational and political reform in many areas. |
