[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 1641454, member: 990"] Well, it's a few years early, but I'm sure the ramifications were still widely felt: In 1492, the jews were expelled from Spain right around the time that ol' Chris set sail. Try Googling 1492 Jews. Alternatively, Jewish History 1500. If you need a group of people who were pretty universally oppressed in your campaign, well there you go. Also try a Google search on Poland 1500. The last hit on the first page has some interesting information about armies, but the website is gone now, so you'll have to look at it through Google's cache. Next, I found some interesting timelines that mention tantalizing bits for future research: [url="http://www.ptloma.edu/music/MUH/renaissance/RenTimeline.htm"]http://www.ptloma.edu/music/MUH/renaissance/RenTimeline.htm[/url] [url="http://www.mediahistory.umn.edu/time/1400s.html"]http://www.mediahistory.umn.edu/time/1400s.html[/url] [url="http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/mongols.html"]http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/mongols.html[/url] [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/society_culture/art/renaissance_europe_06.shtml"]http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/society_culture/art/renaissance_europe_06.shtml[/url] [url="http://www.mariner.org/age/histexp.html"]http://www.mariner.org/age/histexp.html[/url] And finally, have you looked at the three volume work by Fernand Braudel? The series title is Civilization & Capitalism: 15th - 18th Century. The individual titles are The Structures of Everyday Life (volume 1), The Wheels of Commerce (volume 2) and The Perspective of the World (volume 3). These three volumes are fascinating reading for their own sakes, but for your current purposes, will probably give you more adventure ideas than you could use in a lifetime.
