The 118 years that the Tudor dynasty ruled (from 1485 to 1603) were often risky and deadly. This wasnt the safest time to be alive or even dead!
King Henry the Eighth could
be scary.
And so could his daughter,
Queen Mary.
Theyd find any excuse
For the axe, fire or noose
And were never just nice
or played fairly!

Episode 1 begins
Life for ordinary people Girls could get married at the age of 12 and boys at 14.
About one in three children died before they were 10 years old.
Disease and dodgy food didnt make for healthy living nine out of 10 people died before they were 40 years old.
The drinking water was so disgusting that most people drank weak beer even the children! The rich drank wine and sherry.
The Tudors were itchy and smelly a lot of the time. They didnt wash much or take baths. The poor often slept on straw mattresses on mud floors, with fleas, rats, smoke and poo all around.
Most people in Tudor times were very poor. But anyone who went begging, stealing birds eggs or poaching at night was likely to be thrown in prison, flogged or hanged.
