.Finally did you know that you couldn’t play tudor football ever, until the end of the tudor times? People got injured in that game so it got banned. This law was written by Henry the eighth, (Elizabeth’s father).

ReplyDeleteIn 1562 she became sick with smallpox. Unlike many people who died from the disease, she managed to survive.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth liked to have pictures painted of her. There were more portraits painted of her than any other English monarch.
After becoming queen, Elizabeth enjoyed dressing in fancy gowns. The style of the times followed her lead becoming full of ruffles, braids, wide sleeves, intricate embroidery, and lined with jewels.
By the end of her reign, there were around 200,000 people living in the city of London.
She was a huge fan of William Shakespeare's plays.
Her nicknames include Good Queen Bess and The Virgin Queen.
Elizabeth I and all people in those times had black teeth. Elizabeth I didn't know that sugar is bad for you and then she invented a sugar toothpaste. Just to make sundays look more pretty, Elizabeth decided to demand that every person should wear wooly hats on sunday. If you didn't wear the wooly hat you would probobly be beheaded. In 1562 she became realy sick for smallpox but suprisengly , she managed to survive.
ReplyDeleteSome facts that I found interesting were:
ReplyDeleteThere were not many books in school, so the pupils read from 'Hornbooks' instead. Pages displayed the alphabet and were attached to wooden boards and covered with a clear sheet of cow horn.
In sport Tudors played Tennis with a leather ball stuffed with human hair, it was played by nobility and members of the Royal family.
The football they used was made with Pigs bladder. Henry VII banned football because it became so rough
When patients were ill, Astrology helped with the diagnoses of the illness.
Tudors ate spoons and knives, they only started to use forks at the very end of the 1500s
Queen Elizabeth I apparently had a really sweet tooth and, as a result, some of her teeth went black. They think some Tudor ladies painted their own teeth black, so that it would appear that they too could afford to eat sugary items of food.
The Tudors were very strange because they thought sugar was healthy for their teeth so their toothpaste was sugar on paste wich explains why Queen Elizabeth I had black teeth.
ReplyDeleteMost Tudors were poor and lived in poor houses.
The fashion clothes for them were hats with short trousers and white t-shirts(that were really dirty!).
Elizabeth I used to love dresses (as every girl),she had all kinds of fancy golden, pretty,sparkly gowns she even had......A NORMAL DRESS!
In other words the Tudors were d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g!
Mary got her nickname, bloody Mary because she killed over 275 protestants!

You had to wear woolly hats outside every Sunday even if it was 30 degrees! or you would go to prison.
Tudors
ReplyDeleteElizabeth 1 style of dress expressed both her love and desire to present a image of power.
Elizabeth 1 father was fluent in several languages and excellent at sports such as tennis.
The Tudors would collect water from village pumps, wells of streams but was often polluted.
Toilets were called"prives" and were often a piece of wood over a large bowl/bucket.
Tudor life in Britain was harsh and life expectancy was just 35 years.
Tudors kept animals all year round and would KILL them just before they needed to be eaten.
Queen Elizabeth I was born in 1533 at Greenwich Palace. She was Queen for 45 years. Here are some facts about her:
ReplyDeleteElizabeth was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn.
She was born a princess, but lost this status when Henry decided to have Anne's head chopped off, when Elizabeth was 3 years old. After this and until she was "Queened" she was Lady Elizabeth.
Apparently Queen Elizabeth I passed a law stating you HAD to wear a woolly hat on Sunday. That is one of the weirdest laws ever. It was illegal to wear purple as well.
Although Queen Elizabeth I didn't marry, marriage to a number of suitors was considered. Amongst them were Thomas Seymour (creepy husband of Catherine Parr, Elizabeth's guardian, and 24 years older than her), Lord Robert Dudley (married man who Elizabeth quite liked but her government didn't. Some historians think he had something to do with his wife falling down some stairs to her death, thus freeing him to marry Elizabeth), King Phillip II of Spain (proposed to Elizabeth, got denied by Elizabeth, later attempted to send an Armada to invade England), the Archduke Charles of Austria (King Phillip II's cousin), and the Frenchmen Henri, Duke of Anjou and Francois, also Duke of Anjou.
Queen Elizabeth I is sometimes pictured as wearing thick white makeup. Although this look was apparently fashionable at the time, Elizabeth did it to cover up scars left from a bout of smallpox.
Elizabeth could understand several languages: English, Latin, Greek, Italian, French, Spanish, Welsh and apparently even Cornish, a language which is now only spoken by about 2,000 people in Cornwall.
