Greyhounds were a valuable source involved with hunting. These dogs were used to catch prey and bring the prey to their owner just like the falcon The nobles of the Renaissance fished using homemade baskets and nets. They used poles made of wood and lines made of horse hair. Also wired hooks and worms as bait were used. The weapons used were a bow an arrow or crossbow, a lance or spear, short bows and long bows. Horses played a huge part in hunting and transporting.



    About sword in renaissance period.Spain is normally cited as the first country to have introduced the rapier, or espada ropera (sword of the robe), during the late 1400s. This designation highlighted the new-found ability for a gentleman to wear these swords with ordinary civilian dress, rather than needing to don his armor. Italy, Germany and England adopted the rapier soon afterwards.

    In its most complete and recognizable form, the rapier came into full prominence during the early 16th century. In the mid- 1400s, precursors of the rapier (including the standard cruciform-hilted sword) had begun to develop a primitive knuckle guard and forefinger ring or loop. By 1500, a series of simple bars were joined to the knuckle guard to form a protective hilt. At this time, the blade was still a wide, cutting type, and it is only well into the 16th century that the slender rapier blade was fully developed. This typically thin blade was deemed impractical for use during heavy combat on the battlefield so the rapier was viewed primarily as a “civilian” duelling sword. The new rapier hilt, however, was adopted by the military but with the retention of a wider, more traditional broadsword fighting blade.

Balance - they make sword in slender shape and at head they make it sharp. So that make it light and easy to stab

Dominance - about their design pattern on sword in this period they like to make handle curve or design spiral form. That we call "rapier"

Harmony - their form at handle of sword.  Mostly were spiral form or dome.
