14th century Renaissance is a good long way from the 10th century or RL history or what Westeros resembles, we didn’t have printing presses at that point for one thing to disseminate information or encourage literacy on that scale nor the development of a burgeoning merchant middle class to develop industry or provoke social mobility. I believe gradual transition is needed, from technology, to economy, to society, to sustain such a radical change without falling apart.

14th century England was not in the Renaissance. 

And Westeros is certainly not 10th century or anything like that. Given the level of technology, we’re talking 14th century at the earliest. 

And Adam Attewell wasn’t a merchant.
