Hey!
Its an interesting thread this.
Hm, the those times were a tad brutal, I have to say. In York there is a local museum with all kinds of instruments.... and there is even a street which is named after the place where husbands could bring their wives to whip if they were being 'bad'. Its called 'Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate'. I kid you not. The plague and things like that......eek.
But on the plus side, my almer mater university was founded in 1412. So I guess some advances where happening! Although I have to confess, my history is pretty bad. I don't know the difference between the middle ages, the dark ages, mediveal period.... renaissance, um......?? Well I know what the renaissance was but well.
