I wonder about differences in ideas of revenge by class and geography... A humanist scholar may be oppressed by the problem of Christian morality, but would one of Castiglione's courtiers not take revenge as an imperative? Where in 16th-c. Europe is the idea of blood-feud and an obligation to take personal vengeance strongest?
