what was the propaganda used in the renaissance warfare?

Money, basically. As long as they got paid, the soldiers would fight.

Most big cities have Renaissance festivals. This would be an excellent source of experts and re-creation that you can use for your research.

The invention of gun powder and the application through firearms changed warfare from a precision instrument into a mass force. Warfare before gunpowder was made up of very highly trained professionals (archers, mounted knights, heavy infantry, seige engineers, fortification builders, etc). These were all very expensive in maintaining and training (an archer is trained from the age of about six until about fifteen before he enters his first combat, a mounted knight must maintain not only a very high level of training over decades but must maintain specialized horses and heavy armor which are prohibitively expensive, castles are defenses that are built over decades and have massive costs for maintenance sort of like stationary aircraft carriers, etc).\n\nWith gunpowder and firearms, the training of soldiers is reduced from ten years to probably three months because the firearms are used in massed formations and volley fire. The projectiles go through any metal armor available at the time and the logistical support is much less strenuous (arrows are precision instruments, lead balls are not). Castles can be made defensible against hurled rocks by making their walls thicker, but cannot be defended against metal or stone projectiles with the force of gun powder behind them.\n\nEvery place gunpowder and firearms were introduced into an existing system of warfare, the status quo was almost immediately destroyed (Europe, Japan, Africa, South America and Meso America, China - the birthplace of gunpowder, though they did not know how to use it!).

Are you asking about portraying characters from the 1400s?  If its for a particular play, that info would be very helpful.

By supplies I am assuming you mean the original ones shipped from England. Any colony in that time period would have gunpowder and firearms as well as edged steel weapons of various kinds. There would probably be some European livestock. Medicinal supplies. Salt fish, salt beef, salt pork, flour and other such staples. Bar iron for blacksmiths to work. Knives, glass beads and other such trinkets as trade goods.

In 1588 the most powerful, best-organised, best-equipped army in Europe - the Spanish 'Army of Flanders' - had almost crushed the Dutch revolt in the northern provinces of the Spanish Netherlands. Their commander, the respected and feared Duke of Parma was poised ready to embark his troops to cross the narrow end of the North Sea.\n\nThey would land in the Deal - Sandwich area. England's land defences were poor: troops were hastily recruited volunteers with little equipment or training; there were no modern fortifications, and Henry VIII's 50-year old coastal castles were already vulnerable to modern guns. It is likely that the battle-hardened Spanish troops with their powerful artillery would have swept through Kent overwhelming the opposition, and have captured London within a week.\n\n\nfor more info\nhttp://www.theotherside.co.uk/tm-heritage/background/span-armada.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada

i believe the 'renassance', as you call it, which by the way is more appropriately spelled as Renaissance, was a sort of reawakening (around the 15th-16th century) of the (please correct me if i'm wrong) European people in terms of once again venturing out onto the world in search of cultural, artistic and intellectual knowledge. This was because the period before the Renaissance was actually the time when the Byzantine Empire(it was the capital of Rome)fell from power (because of the Turks), thus throwing Europe and all its scholars into a state of frenzy to survive because of the nature of the brutish and ruthless overthrowers, giving them rarely the time to think about anything less than living as far as tomorrow, much less...well, THINKING at all. But sometime after that, I believe a string of events I really cannot come to mind right now, occured, leading to the said era. By the way, Renaissance aactually means 'rebirth' in Italian, a very befitting name if i may say so. Hope I helped. :)

no, not really because most of the senior Roman Catholic curia during the Renaissance were humanists and more than likely they were at the very least agnostics. they probably understood and accepted what Galileo said was true, but any attack on the dogma of the catholic church also affected its secular political power. religious fanatics most resemble the witch burners, immersed in unshakable superstition and ignorance. the people who most resemble those who persecuted Galileo are the politicians who mouth religious conviction in order to gain or retain power.

There were a variety of purposes.  For the people who actually went on them they believed among other things that they would have their souls cleansed and their sins for given (though the loot was a nice bonus).  For the Royalty of Europe it was a chance to curry favor with the Vatican by providing soldiers.  The Vatican had a variety of reasons both political and eccumenical for wanting to secure the Holy Land.  For the younger sons of the Nobility (ones who did not stand to inherit land) it gave them a chnce to make a name and claim land for themselves.

You would find that strategy and tactics have been in use ever since men first went to war against each other.\n\nThe Art of War, by Sun Tzu is widely considered the oldest known written description of military strategy and tactics.\n\nYou could have a good look at it here:\nhttp://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html\n\nHave fun!\n\nCheers\nAlister\nhttp://www.marketscience.com.au

Propaganda is to advocate the views and interests of those advocating them. It may be or may not be a lie. It's a point of view. In most cases, the people advocating truly believe in it.\n\nOn the other hand, lie is factual, regardless the point of view. Also, lie is intentional. People who lie know that in their own hearts, but not telling. For other people, many times, it is hard to know if it is a lie immediately. But history can tell.

Nice use of Rome as an example. Only that you left out the part where the Romans treated the Goths and Visigoths as a source of cheap but more often as slave labor. \n\nSounds very familiar.

Interesting reading here about 'The Development of the Codpiece'.\n\n Legend has it that Edward III, king of England from 1327-1377, had the codpiece of his armor ENLARGED to astounding proportions because he had heard that strength and military prowess were correlated with a man's endowment. As he was in the midst of the Hundred Years' War with the French at the time, it would not be surprising that he would try to seek any possible advantage available to him.\n\n He then ordered that the nobility and knights do the same to their armor. The legend goes on to say that the gullible French (from the nobility all the way down to the peasantry) were scared to death by the advance of the "WELL-EQUIPPED" men. If this legend is true, and the personality of Edward III would support it, it is an example of how the nobility can influence fashion. \nP.S. for the nicest codpiece go here: \n http://www.perrybrass.com/storypag.htm
