During the 13th-15th centuries in Europe, known as the Renaissance period, society was stratified with nobles, merchants, and peasants. Wealthy families supported great artists and inventors like Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Shakespeare. Men generally had more opportunities and power than women, who were largely confined to domestic duties and child-rearing. Life was also difficult for many, as the population faced challenges such as the Bubonic Plague, famine, and ongoing wars.
