Quote:The Council of Constance was a 15th-century ecumenical council recognized by the Catholic Church, held from 1414 to 1418 in the Bishopric of Constance in present-day Germany. The council ended the Western Schism by deposing or accepting the resignation of the remaining papal claimants and by electing Pope Martin V.

I can't really think of anything else at the moment.
But I can't think of any imagery that would appear to be linked to obviously contemporary issues in the Voynich. Quite the contrary, the imagery appears to be based upon the previous century, even if some of the design elements are 15the century (costume, archer, etc).

Yes there are major, famous events, the best known have been listed above.
But that does not necessarily mean that other, lesser known events may have been more relevant, pressing, or consequential to the specific group that made the Voynich manuscript. How could we know what was important to them when we don't know who they are?
Another thing we don't know is whether the Voynich might be a version of older material. For all we know, it may be an adaptation of something originally created say in the 13th century or some other time.
So while the C14 provides an end date for such a timeline, the start date is uncertain.
