Executed Renaissance

So, a long, long time ago there was a time called the Renaissance. Back then, people became really interested in learning and art and wanted to make things look better and more beautiful.

Sometimes, when people did things that others didn't like, they would be punished. And one of the ways this was done was by something called execution. That means they would be killed.

Now, executed Renaissance means that during this time people were punished and killed for different things. Some people were punished for saying things that the powerful people didn't like or for doing things that were against the rules.

It's not a very happy part of history, but it's important to remember so we can try to make the world a better and fairer place for everyone.
