  1. THE TUDORS
    The Tudors were from 1485 to 1603.
    There were six Tudors called • Henry VII (1485-1509)
    • Henry VIII (1509-1547)
    • Edward VI (1547-1553)
    • Lady Jane Grey (for nine days in 1553)
    • Mary I (1553-1558)
    • Elizabeth I (1558-1603)
    The Tudors were mostly famous because of Henry VIII having six wives, Elizabeth I changing the catholic religion to Protestant and Mary I burning the Protestant people to death.
    They were called the Tudors because Henry VII’s surname was Tudor and he won the battle between him and Richard III.
    Lady Jane Grey was queen for only nine days because Edward VI had died and Mary I was not there yet.
    Elizabeth I did not marry because she did not want another King to rule and the Tudors would finish and she wanted that to happen.

    Homes
    If you were a Tudor slave then you would have a very smelly house because you would cover your floor with rushes. Rushes are a mixture of rubbish, rotten food and animal poop. If you were a rich person you would have a very big house but if you were a slave you would have little house or little room. The richer you were the bigger your house was. Each room in a Tudor house would have fire in it and at night they would blow out the fire and put little candle sticks around the room.

    Clothes
    Like the houses the clothes also showed how wealthy and rich you were. Did you know that purple was the most expensive colour because it was known to be a regal and royal colour. By the time Henry the VIII was king, men wore tights and a tunic called a doublet. When Elizabeth I
    took over men wore breeches. Men also wore ruffs around their necks and their wrists. Woman would basically wear 2 petticoats ,a velvet gown and a woolen jacket to keep warm. Woman would usually tie their hair into a bun and decorate their hair with golden chains. Children had no difference compared to their adults because they would just wear the same thing their parent would have worn.

    Fun and Entertainment
    Just because this period was a hundred years back it doesn't mean there was no football or tennis. There were also a lot of arenas and tournaments were knights fought in a battle. Instead of movies they had plays and one of the most famous play is Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. Most grand and famous people would invite their friends over to a feast. In the Tudor times the water wasn't so clean so rich people would drink ale or mead. The food would have been only meat like mutton, chicken and duck.

  14. The TUDORS

    ●The Tudor period is the period between 1485 and 1603. This was when the TUDORS were the ruling family of England.
    ●The Tudors Rose was created when Henry VII brought an end to the Wars of the Roses (an ongoing battle between two royal groups - the House of Lancaster and the House of York. He joined the White Rose of York with the Red Rose of Lancaster, creating the Union Rose, which is still used as the floral emblem of England today.
    ● Religion was a great problem for the Tudors.They were committed to the Roman Catholic Church at the beginning of Henry VIII's reign but by the 1600 there had been several swings between Catholicism and Protestantism led by the crown and the nobles.
    ● Education was seen as something of a luxury for most Tudors, and it was usually the children of the rich who received anything approaching decent schooling.
    There were few books in Tudor schools,pupils red from "hornbooks" instead. Pages displaying the alphabet and religious material were attached to wooden boards and covered with transparent sheet of cow horn.Discipline was much fiercer than it is today. Teachers would think nothing of punishing their pupils with 50 strokes of cane.
    There were two universities in Tudor times,Oxford and Cambridge. Some boys went to university at the age of 14.
    ● Entertainment
    The Theatre
    The popularity of the theatre rose with both rich and poor alike, during the sixteen century. This popularity was helped by the rise of great playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare as well as the building of the Globe theatre in London.

  15. The tudors had control of wales and england for an impressive 181 years and the first king was Henry the seventh.Henry the seventh was a cruel man but Henry the eighth was worse.
    colours
    There was also colours to show how rich you were.Mostly kings wear purple clothes or black clothes to show visitors how posh and rich they
    were.
    Royal rulers
    There quite a lot of kings and queens.Henry the eighth had six wives
    and he introduced beheading to people.He wanted a son but only one wife gave him a son was Jane Seymour. Sadly she died and Henry needed a new wife.
    Entertainment
    There were no video games in those times to have fun so they went the theatre to watch romantic or comedy scenes and one of the most famous theatre was the globe theatre that was built by William Shakespeare.
    education
    Education started a long time before the Tudors and there were schools.Some poor children cant afford to go to school so they do small jobs like planting or if your lucky you can also be a kings helper.In schools you only stay a bit and you will move to university really quickly.
