The
15th century was the century which spans the Julian years 1401 to 1500.
In Europe, the 15th century is seen as the bridge between the Late
Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the Early modern period. Many
technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can
in retrospect be seen as heralding the "European miracle" of the
following centuries. In religious history, the Roman Papacy was split in
two parts in Europe for decades, until the Council of Constance. The
division of the Catholic Church and the unrest associated with the
Hussite movement would become factors in the rise of the Protestant
Reformation in the following century.
Hope this could help : )
