In this talk, Dr Catherine Fletcher will explore the exponential rise in the production, sale and ownership of handguns in the first half of the sixteenth century. From a plot to smuggle gunpowder into Siena in wine barrels, to gun-toting Lutheran women in the Italian hills, this talk explores the challenge handguns posed for international relations.
