ABOUT ELECTRIC COD PIECE:<br>
Modern times fashion and style are determined by fashion houses and clothing designers, the same was not true during the
Renaissance. During this period of re-birth of classical learning and advances in many areas, fashion was most often dictated
by the nobility. With the exception of Elizabeth I, with her grand sense of uniqueness and style, the most unique style to
come from the Renaissance was a man's accessory, the codpiece. The codpiece came into existence during the Middle Ages, became
popular during the reigns of the Yorkists monarchs in England, attained full prominence during the reign of Henry VIII, and
disappeared during the reign of Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I. The question of why the codpiece developed, changed and evenutally
disappeared can be answered fairly easily, if consideration is not given to the influence of the nobility in determining fashion
and style. That the development of the codpiece was a necessity is commonly agreed upon by fashion historians.
