Religion
Roman Catholic Church
The 95 Theses led to the Reformation, a break with the Roman Catholic Church that previously claimed hegemony in Western Europe. Humanism and the Renaissance therefore played a direct role in sparking the Reformation, as well as in many other contemporaneous religious debates and conflicts.

Tradition
Housing and Architecture
Peasant houses are the least nice of the kinds of housing during the Renaissance. Peasants worked for feudal barons, land owning nobles, city, republic, or commune (Brown). Peasant houses were made of earth stone or wood, whatever they had more of (Brown). They used thatched roofs. Thatch is a plant stalk or foliage, such a reeds or palm fronds. Windows were rectangular holes with wooden shutters to cover them (Ridley).
People who were in the middle class were usually merchants, artisans, lawyers or doctors (Brown). These houses were most likely made of wood or stucco (Brown). The roofs of these kinds of houses were made of slate or tile (Brown). They had leaded windows made of several small panes of glass held together by strips of lead (Brown). Unlike the peasant houses, middle class homes usually had more than one floor. The middle class houses had two or three rooms on each floor (Brown).
One of the greatest and most royal kinds of housing was the castle. Castles are some of the greatest buildings ever made. They were originally built to protect inhabitants during wars and sieges (Brown). Eventually castles were turned into homes for royalty and nobility. Castles were the best kinds of houses in that time and they are still very popular today. Castles may sometimes be thought of as a mansion; however a mansion was for royalty and important people to live. Castles were meant for protection and that is what they were built for. They were built with more stability then other buildings, mostly made of brick or stone.
There were many kinds of houses during the Tudor Age, including houses for peasants, for the middle class, and for the royalty. “A man’s house is his castle” works for any kind of house. Whether or not a man lives in a cottage, a mansion, or a palace, it is still his castle because that is where he is in control. People in the future will be able to learn these kinds of things from buildings that we leave behind today.

History
Transportation
- The earliest modern vehicles were either foot, horse or carriage back then.Even if you had money you would still have to pay alot for a carriage or horse. The king and queen had horses but they were used for riding and knights. Many carriages that the queen and king had were used for travel to go places such as Grand Jesters, Balls, etc. So what I am saying is the amount of travel a person had was based on how much money they had. http://www.ducksters.com/history/renaissance_science.php
