I am keen actually to stay away from the Voynich directly. This may seem strange as this is the topic of the forum. The reason I say this is that I don't want the many different interpretations of the Voynich to affect the view of history of the period. We do not know what the Voynich says, so we do not know which historical events may have impacted the Voynich and its author, so that is why I think the general history of the period is worth looking at.
If one believes that the Voynich is Spanish in origin then the events of Spanish history become particularly important. Alternatively, if one believes the Voynich is Lithuanian in origin then the events of Spanish history would seem pretty irrelevant. So I am inclined to approach the history in general terms rather than with a view to a specific analysis of the manuscript.
