*TERRIBLE TUDORS*
ReplyDeleteFood:
The rich tudors ate lots and lots meat. Only a few ate veggies. The poor people normally ate nothing but sometimes were offered veggies or rotten food. Since the rich tudors ate a lot of meat they had a hard time in the toilet.
Clothing:
Rich men wore white silk shirts,frilled at the neck and wrists,and the women wore padded skirts held up with loops. The poor wore simple loose-fitting clothes. Most men wore trousers and a tunic which came down to just above their knee. The poor women wore a dress of wool that went down to the ground. They often wore an apron over this and a cloth bonnet on their heads.
The Tudors were a Welsh-English family that ruled England and Wales from 1485 to 1603 - one of the most exciting periods of British history. They ruled for 118 years.
ReplyDeleteFOOD- The rich would eat lots of meat, but only a few vegetables. They would also eat spices and sugar which the poor couldn't afford. Rich and poor Tudors ate very different food from each other. Vegetables which grew underground, (such as carrots and parsnips), were only considered fit for the poor.
WEAR- Rich men wore silk shirts. Over this they wore a doublet. (a bit like a tight-fitting jacket), and close-fitting striped trousers (called hose). Why did the Tudors wear ruffs and why did the ladies wear stomachers and have to cover themselves up?

THE TUDORS
ReplyDeleteWhat did the Tudors eat?
The Tudors always ate fresh food, since there was no applicable method of storing food. Devices such as fridges or refrigerators had not yet been invented, meaning that bacteria would rot food and make it mouldy and inedible.
Animals were kept throughout the year, and they would be slaughtered and cleaned just before they were eaten. This meant they were always fresh. About ¾ of the rich Tudor diet consisted of meat, such as oxen, calves, deer, badgers, pigs and wild boars. Game birds were also eaten, such as chicken, pigeons, sparrows, heron, crane, pheasant, woodcock, partridge, blackbirds and peacocks.
Bread would also often accompany such meals. As well as this, the Tudors would drink ale (an alcoholic drink), and the affluent would drink wine.
Fruit was also another Tudor food, but was not as popular as meat. They could only be picked in the season, and tropical fruits such as bananas and grapes had not been heard of during the Tudor times, since they did not grow in Britain.
Fish was eaten among people that lived beside the river and sea. Freshwater fish included eels, pike, perch, trout, sturgeon, roach and salmon.
On the other hand, the poor would eat a herb-flavoured soup called Pottage. This was served with bread, and comprised peas, milk, egg yolks, breadcrumbs and parsley and flavoured with saffron and ginger.
The poor would also eat chickens, which they could keep themselves; buy beef from the local market when they had enough money and also eat rabbits, which they could catch as well.
What did the Tudors wear?
Tudor dresses were very grand and elegant, and the clothing you wore greatly reflected your wealth. For example, the rich wore adorned, flamboyant dresses with golden embroidery and bejewelled decorations.
Rich ladies wore padded skirts held up with loops, over which went bodices and colourful gowns that reached the floor. Rich men, on the other hand, wore white silk shirts that were frilled at the neck and wrists. Over this, they would have worn a doublet (a bit like a tight-fitting jacket), and close-fitting striped trousers (called hose).
Wealthy Tudors would also wear ruffs, and rich ladies would wear stomachers, which tightened their stomachs so that it would contrast with their wide skirts and give their body a triangular shape, in accordance to the fashion at that time.
Leisure and Recreation
Tudors would mainly have entertainment on Sunday, or ‘Saint’s Day’, whether it was a Royal Wedding or a public execution.
Sport was a large form of entertainment - many people would gather to watch the event. Some of the sports played by Tudors are still played today, such as:
• Jousting
• Pitching the Bar
• Throwing the Sledgehammer
• Leaping
• Shin-kicking (with iron-tipped boots)
• Sword fighting
• Performing headstands
• Fox Hunting
• Hare Coursing
• Dancing to bagpipes
Feasts and banquets were also largely popular, especially among the richer folk. However, the poorer folk could also hold a feast for a special occasion. If there was a special occasion, such as a royal wedding, then the wealthy people could dine inside the building, and the monarch would pay for the food and wine to be put out on the streets for the poorer folk to join in the celebrations. The diners would be entertained by mummers, jesters, jugglers or fire eaters.
In the 1500s, the Tudors also developed a liking for the theatre. This was influenced by famous playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe - as well as the building of theatres, such as the Globe Theatre, a replica of which still exists in Southwark today.
Public executions were also a form of entertainment. There was a carnival-like atmosphere on the day, and a variety of people would flock to see the execution. Salesmen and street performers would find their trades soaring, especially the like of pie sellers and ale merchants.
Tudors' Food:
ReplyDeleteTudors' mainly ate meat. They kept land animals such as oxen,boar,pig,deer,rabbit, or badge which they killed and cut, just before eating, so the meat was always fresh. Tudor's also had bird such as chicken, pigeon, sparrow, duck, or crow. They ate little amount of veg. The rich Tudor diet was different than poor tudors as rich tudors ate different type of herbs, salt, sugars as well as spices to garnish their food, which poor Tudors could not afford. Poor Tudors could only eat underground grown vegetables, such as parsnips or carrots. In Tudors' times, only home grown seasonal vegetables were available as there were no cold food storages.
Tudors' clothing:
Rich ladies wore padded skirts, held up with loops. Over these, went bodices colourful gowns that touched the floor. The gowns were designed to give the women a triangular-like shape. Ladies’ formal clothing consisted of a smock, petticoat, kirtle, & a partlet.
Rich men’s clothes gave them a square-like look. They wore white silk shirts, frilled at the neck & wrists. Over this, they wore a doublet (bit like a tight-fitting coat), & tight striped trousers, called ‘hose’. Men’s formal clothing also included jerkin & over gown.

Henry Vlll is probably the most well known of the Tudor kings. He was a very selfish person and by the end of his life everyone was afraid of him, mainly because of his ruthless behaviour toward anyone who didn't agree with him.
