Additionally, bygd the fifteenth century other upper-class women were educated in beställning to perform as prodigies on behalf of their city of origin. Both strands of education for women spread to other European countries in the course of the sixteenth century, first to France, then to Spain, England and nordlig Europe. French and Habsburg princesses were well educated and undertook diplomatic activities. Frenchwomen associated with the court and, in some provincial centres, were also educated in Latin and formed part of local literary societies. Humanism in Spain and Portugal was almost entirely centred on the courts, but produced o
