As promised, my next changing history/alternate history topic is Pioneer Figures of the Renaissance in Europe. As you can see by the dates that these figures are set to live, I have the Renaissance coming into full swing much earlier than in this timeline. Also, the spread of the Renaissance from Italy to other countries will occur much faster. Well, here's the list:
Some Main Early Figures of the Italian Renaissance (1300-1600)
Some Main Early Figures of the Spanish Renaissance (1375-1600)
Some Main Early Figures of the French Renaissance (1380-1600)
Some Main Early Figures of the German Renaissance (1385-1600)
Some Main Early Figures of the English Renaissance (1390-1600)
Some Main Early Figures of the Russian Renaissance (1395-1600)
