Several illustrated chronicles were created in the Old Swiss Confederacy in the 15th and 16th centuries.
 They were luxurious illuminated manuscripts produced for the urban elite of Bern and Lucerne, and their copious detailed illustrations allow a unique insight into the politics and daily life of late medieval Switzerland on the eve of the Reformation.
 The most important of these chronicles are the works of the two Diebold Schillings, their luxurious execution, as well as their content reflecting the growing confidence and self-esteem of the leaders of the confederacy after their spectacular successes in the Burgundian Wars.
A carrack was a three- or four-masted ocean-going sailing ship that was developed in the 14th and 15th centuries in Europe.
 Developed from the single-masted cog, the carrack was first used for European trade from the Mediterranean to the Baltic and quickly found use with the newly found wealth and status of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
 In its most advanced forms, it was used by the Portuguese for trade along the African coast and finally with Asia and America from the 15th century before evolving into the galleon of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Feudalism was a combination of legal and military customs in medieval Europe that flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries.
 Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labour.
The Alcázar de Colón, or Columbus Alcazar, located in Santo Domingo's Ciudad Colonial, Dominican Republic, is the oldest Viceregal residence in America, and forms part of the Ciudad Colonial UNESCO's World Heritage Site.
 The building houses the Museo Alcázar de Diego Colón, whose collection exhibits the Caribbean's most important ensemble of European late medieval and Renaissance works of art, which were acquired in the 1950s.
 The Tapestry collection (spanning from the 15th to 17th centuries) is particularly important and unique in the Caribbean, and includes pieces produced by the Flemish Van Den Hecke family from cartouches created by Charles Le Brun.
 The Alcázar is the most visited museum in Santo Domingo.
A bec de corbin is a type of pole weapon and war hammer that was popular in medieval Europe.
 The name is Old French for "raven's beak" or "beak of the crow".
 Similar to the Lucerne hammer, it consists of a modified hammer's head and spike mounted atop a long pole.
 Unlike the Lucerne hammer, the bec de corbin was used primarily with the 'beak' or fluke to attack instead of the hammer head.
 The hammer face balancing the beak was often blunt instead of the multi-pronged Lucerne, and the beak tended to be stouter; better designed for tearing into thinner plate armor, chainmail or padded jacks .
 Also, the spike mounted on the top of head was not nearly as long and thin as in the Lucerne.
 Bec de corbin occasionally becomes a catchall for any type of warhammer, such as a maul or a horseman's pick.
Rouen (] ; Frankish: "Rodomo"; Latin: "Rotomagus" ) is a city on the River Seine in the north of France.

 It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th to the 15th centuries.
The Lucerne hammer is a type of polearm which was popular in Switzerland during the 15th to 17th centuries.
 It was a combination of the bec de corbin with the blunt war hammer.
Fox tossing (German: Fuchsprellen) was a popular competitive blood sport in parts of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, which involved throwing live foxes and other animals high into the air.
 It was practiced by members of the aristocracy in an enclosed patch of ground or in a courtyard, using slings with a person on each end to catapult the fox upwards.
 It was particularly popular for mixed couples, though it was hazardous for both the tossed animals and the people launching them.
 Sometimes the terrified animals would turn on the participants, and the outcome for the tossed animals was usually fatal.
