It seems like if something bad happened in the 15th century, it's exclusively a medieval fault. If something cool happened in the 15th century, it's a Renaissance contribution.
"medieval" is a buzzword people use for anything before the french and industrial revolutions
16th century is 100% medieval in spirit it was the era of knights in shinning armor wars of religions and crusades (spanish and portuguese sea conquests) People like Charles V and Suleiman were closer in their moral and ideological beliefs to people like Lionheart and Saladin than Napoleon and Ataturk
It was modern because it includes the modern concepts of humanism,money and art
