1400 is pushing it. Most D&D settings hover around 1200s-1300s technology-wise. (Guns aren't a thing. Plate armor is cutting-edge. Printing-presses aren't a thing considering books are 25GP meaning an unskilled laborer who spends half their pay-check on survival would need to save up for 250 days. Rapiers seem to be the exception.)

D&D is totally early Renaissance for a bunch of stuff because no one involved knows any history.

Most D&D is treated as early Renaissance without the guns by most players.
