15th Century France

15th-century France was a period of transition marked by internal conflicts, such as the Hundred Years’ War with England, which ended in 1453. The monarchy gradually strengthened its authority, leading to a more unified kingdom. During this time, France experienced significant cultural growth, including advancements in art and architecture, exemplified by the early Renaissance. Society was largely agrarian, with noble families holding power and a growing middle class emerging in towns. Religious devotion was widespread, but tensions between the Church and emerging ideas occasionally sparked unrest. Overall, this century laid the groundwork for France’s future political and cultural development.
