The TV Series Reign
My artifact is off of the TV show Reign. It is about the King and Queen of France around the 1500's. The main character is Mary Queen of Scots who eventually becomes the Queen of France as well. Its about the struggles she has to face as a Queen, a wife, and a friend to her Lady's in waiting. In this show there is a lot of killing and Romance.

My topic for my first research paper is how does the fashion from this show compare to the fashion from the 1500's. So far I have found out that the TV show isn't completely accurate. In the show their outfits are a bit modernized more than the 1500;s were. In the show they have worn tight sleeves and in the 1500's everyone always wore puffy sleeves. The TV show does show the lady's wearing tight corsets with a ball gown which is accurate from that time period.

My second research paper is going to be based on Reign about the difference in technology in the show compared to the 1500's. I haven't researched this topic very much yet but I think it will be a little easier finding information on this then on their fashion.
