The Northern Renaissance is most commonly used to refer to the spread of Renaissance cultural, social, economic, and technological innovations into Lhedwinic nations. The late 15th century is most commonly accepted as the beginning of the Northern Renaissance and it is viewed as the chronological period which separates the Middle Ages from the Modern Era. | The Northern Renaissance is most commonly used to refer to the spread of Renaissance cultural, social, economic, and technological innovations into Lhedwinic nations.

{{wp|Patronage}}, especially in Glanodel, also saw a marked increase in frequency during this period primarily due to increased total wealth among the population and the rise of a merchant and urban middle class. While sponsorship of artists and the {{wp|commission (art)|commissioning}} of artwork is the best-known aspect of the patronage system, other disciplines also benefited from patronage, including those who studied {{wp|natural philosophy}} (science), {{wp|music|musicians}}, {{wp|literature|writers}}, {{Wp|philosophy|philosophers}}, and other scholars. It was a common practice for merchants and even nobility to enlist the services of local artists or musicians to craft an image of cultural sophistication, which had become a popular display of social status by the mid-16th century. | {{wp|Patronage}}, especially in Glanodel, also saw a marked increase in frequency during this period primarily due to increased total wealth among the population and the rise of a merchant and urban middle class.

Other key developments from the Renaissance were greater {{wp|division of labour|skill specialization}} and new {{wp|social class|social classes}}. Large {{wp|guild|guilds}} and increasingly wealthy merchants made up a growing middle class within Glanish society, along with a social class referred to as ''frihholdr'' (tr. "freeholders"; meaning "landowners"). These classes became the first citizens among the common class who gained participation within political affairs. In time, the once institutionalized caste system became largely implied and the few legal ramifications that had existed for its disregard were gradually abolished. As a result, social mobility became relatively high by the mid-16th century. By the 1580s, it had become increasingly common for freeholders and merchants to marry their children to members of the aristocracy who were eager to gain the support of wealthy families. | Other key developments from the Renaissance were greater {{wp|division of labour|skill specialization}} and new {{wp|social class|social classes}}.
