Does "the fifteen hundreds" mean "the 15th century" or "the 16th century"?

Thanks!

Hi Flora

The "fifteen hundreds" would be synonymous with the "16th century".

Hi Amy,
Is '1500' in the 15th or 16th century? (I've heard that it's considered in the 15th century)

Hi Nessie,

Anyone born in the year 1500 would start their life in the 16th century. Believe me!
