In the Middle Ages, believe it or not, "Poor" was not a clearly defined concept. The fuedal system meant that [by and large] everyone had a useful role in society. It is not until people were redundent that poverty became an issue.\n\nSome answers seem to think the Middle Ages and The Middle of the second Millenium are the same thing. They are not. The Middle Ages is the period in Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire about 750ad to about 1500ad The Middle Ages had finished by 1600

The main difference is defense. Castles, which usually date from an earlier time period, were built mainly with the idea of keeping other people out. Although they could sometimes be very lavishly decorated, particularly the keep, which was the castle holder's private residence and the last hold out in invasion, castles were primarily military instillations. They were hugely expensive to build, and so became quite a status symbol, but they were primarily military. \n\nAs gun powder became more common in Europe (this answer refers to European castle; non-European castles are a whole other thing) it became a waste of money to build thick walls and high towers, only to have them brought down with an explosion. By that time, armies were becoming larger and borders were better defended, royalty was becoming more powerful, and were able to enforce the peace so their nobles didn't have to worry about defending against EACH OTHER. The aristocracy was also becoming more wealthy and wanted to show it. Palaces really reappeared with the Renaissance. Earlier, people who had had palaces were the most powerful--Emperors, Popes, during the Classical period, Roman Senitors and generals. Basically people who could afford some other line of defence, so they could show their wealth--and security, because wealth BOUGHT security--by opulence.

The Renaissance was a social, cultural and economic revolution which began a period of scientific revolution, religious reform, artistic and architectural development, and philosophical openness, and marks the beginning of modern European history. It occurred at the end of the Middle Ages and the start of the Modern Age. The Renaissance is usually considered to have originated in the late 13th century in Lombardy in northern Italy and extends o the mid 15th century in northern Europe. What was reborn was, in essence the ideal of Classical Ancient Greece and more importantly, Rome.\n\n\n\n \n\n\nHistoriography\nThe term Rebirth (Rinascita), to indicate the flourishing of artistic and scientific activities starting in Italy in the mid 1300's, was first used by the Italian artist Giorgio Vasari in the Vite, published in 1550. The term Renaissance is the French translation, used by French historian Jules Michelet, and expanded upon by Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt (both in the 1860s). Rebirth is used in two ways. First, it means rediscovery of ancient classical texts and learning and their applications in the arts and sciences. Second, it means that the results of these intellectual activities created a revitalization of European culture in general. Thus it is possible to speak of the Renaissance in two different but meaningful ways: A rebirth of classical learning and knowledge through the rediscovery of ancient texts, and also a rebirth of European culture in general.\n\n \nLeonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, an example of the blend of art and science during the Renaissance.[edit]\nMultiple Renaissances\nDuring the last quarter of the 20th century many scholars took the view that the Renaissance was perhaps only one of many such movements. This is in large part due to the work of historians like Charles H. Haskins (1870–1937), who made a convincing case for a "Renaissance of the 12th century", as well as by historians arguing for a "Carolingian Renaissance." Both of these concepts are now widely accepted by the scholarly community at large; as a result, the present trend among historians is to discuss each so-called renaissance in more particular terms, e.g., the Italian Renaissance, the English Renaissance, etc. This terminology is particularly useful because it eliminates the need for fitting "The Renaissance" into a chronology that previously held that it was preceded by the Middle Ages and followed by the Reformation, which many believe to be inaccurate. The entire period is now often replaced by the term "Early Modern". (See periodisation, Lumpers and splitters)\n\nOther periods of cultural rebirth have also been termed a "renaissance"; such as the Harlem Renaissance or the San Francisco Renaissance. The other renaissances are not considered further in this article, which will concentrate on the Renaissance as the transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age.\n\n[edit]\nCritical views\nNote: This section needs more citations and references. \nSince the term was first created in the 19th century, historians have various interpretations on the Renaissance.\n\nThe traditional view is that the Renaissance of the 15th century in Italy, spreading through the rest of Europe, represented a reconnection of the west with classical antiquity, the absorption of knowledge—particularly mathematics—from Arabic, the return of experimentalism, the focus on the importance of living well in the present (e.g. humanism), an explosion of the dissemination of knowledge brought on by printing and the creation of new techniques in art, poetry and architecture which led to a radical change in the style and substance of the arts and letters. This period, in this view, represents Europe emerging from a long period as a backwater, and the rise of commerce and exploration. The Italian Renaissance is often labelled as the beginning of the "modern" epoch.\n\nToday most histor

The 16th century is for Spain the "Golden Century", as the Spanish Empire was growing (Americas) and the country was rich thanks to America's gold and silver. Certainly the first power in Europe at the time, as Spain was ruling the Low Countries (Holland and Belgium now), +/- half of Italy, Austria (which means present Austria, Czech Republic, part of Hungary and Yugoslavia), parts of present France.\n\nHave a look at wikipedia, link below:

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.

OK, I've got some ideas for you.  Links are numbered below.\n\nFirst of all, in the Middle Ages towns would put on what are called cycles of mystery plays, which were collections of short plays that told Bible stories.  I've linked to a page that has the York cycle in a modern translation.  I would think that if you did some creative cutting, you could have an excellent play (and an excellent report if you included some information on mystery plays.)  (1.)\n\nMiddle Ages cooking was notorious for being either very simple (for the common man) or extremely complicated (for the nobility).  I'm giving you a website that has lots of recipes.  (2.)  Also, I'm going to give you a link to a page that has a VERY easy recipe for baked pears, with both the original recipe from a 14th century French book and a modern translation. (3.)\n\nFor music, you are going to have to do a little more research.  I'm including a page that has a lot of good resources listed.  (4.)

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