The Elizabethans had very clear expectations of men and women, and in general, men were judged to be the breadwinners and women to be housewives and mothers. On average, a woman gave birth to a child every two years, but as a lot of babies and children died from sickness, families were not always large. Childbearing was considered a great honour to women, as children are seen as blessings from God, and Tudor women took great pride in being mothers.

This worked as if Elizabethan had the power to grant people jobs to people that are below her. They granted people rewards and jobs to people that were below her in power. So if someone was below her in power she would see if they were worthy enough and if they were she would grant them a job. That is how the government works in the Elizabethan era.]]> 2021-10-13 22:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815275780 Who was Elizabeth l? What type of ruler was she? isaakelkhoury https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815278832 Elizabeth 1 was called Good Queen Bess. She was the queen of England from 1558 to 1603. She was born on 7 September in 1533 in Greenwich, near London, England. She was a long ruling Queen of England. She had a lot of power because there was an era named after her, and it is called the Elizabethan era. She died on march 24, 1603. Her parents were king Henry Vlll and Anne Boleyn and her siblings are Mary l of England.

Elizabethan theatres were open-air structures with a raised stage that facilitated to create better viewing for those with faraway positions. Most performances were done during the afternoon. A flag would be flown from the top of the theatre to show a play was going to be performed. 

People sat around the stage in galleries. The cheapest place was in front of the stage, where ordinary people stood. They were known as ‘groundlings’. There was very little scenery — a character would tell the audience where the scene was set. Long speeches gave actors a chance to change their clothes. There was generally plenty of violence in the plays — Tudor audiences loved it.

Their clothes were made of expensive velvet, silk, and satin. The upper class also had more availability to food because they were socially ranked higher. Meat was the main food consumed by the wealthy.]]> 2021-10-13 22:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815288618 What was health like in the Elizabethan Era? https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815418803
Elizabethan medicine was extremely undeveloped during a time when terrible illnesses like the Bubonic Plague (Black Death) destroyed nearly a third of the population. In the photograph above, an Elizabethan physician may be seen. The sight of an Elizabethan physician dressed strangely, especially with a strange mask, was enough to send anyone to sleep. The Physician's clothes, on the other hand, most likely saved his life by keeping him from contracting the plague and typhoid, which were both frequent illnesses and diseases among his patients.

The feudal system of the Middle Ages (the time in European history that lasted from around 500 to around 1500) saw great lords control and manage small districts. This typically made up of peasant households and varied from fifty to a few hundred people. (Peasants were farmers who toiled in wealthier lords' fields.) These rural areas housed around 95 percent of England's inhabitants. Almost majority of the work was done by peasant farmers. They farmed the land, one-third for the Lord, one-third to sustain the local church, and the remainder for their personal use. Their day-to-day existence were governed by wealthy lords. They tended to work from sunup to sunset, rarely venturing beyond their home village. The ill and old rely on the lord's compassion to survive. Peasant life was typically reasonably secure, but there was practically no way to avoid the hard toil passed down from generation to generation.]]> 2021-10-14 00:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815446408 What was health like in the Elizabethan Era? https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815556875 Health and hygiene was very bad during the Elizabethan Era. This one plague called 'Bubonic Plague' (Black Death) occurred several times and almost killed one third of the population. Medical care was also treated differently in the Elizabethan Era. The Bubonic Plague lasted for about 300 years during the Elizabethan Era. It is estimated that 25 million people died from the Bubonic Plague between 1347 and 1351. The Bubonic Plague was caused by a bacterium Yersinia patesis. The plague was impossible to cure and the victims with the plague would die within 4 days. The Bubonic Plague was also contagious.]]> 2021-10-14 01:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1815556875 What were the cities like in the Elizabethan Era? https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1818430076 Cities in the Elizabethan Era was absolutely terrible as all the cities were stinky, crowded, and noisy. It would be even worse if you could not afford a horse to ride on, if you couldn't afford it you would have to walk through the stuffy and loud city. There were so many people in the cities doing all sorts of things like: causing unnecessary fights, selling food, cleaners cleaning up the horse urine and dung off the roads, scavengers, farmers, and the list goes on. The cities were also not very safe, as there would be countless people stealing items from you and  since there was no room for proper shops butchers would roam around with massive knifes looking for animals to sell. So in conclusion the cities in the Elizabethan Era were not the ideal picture. ]]> 2021-10-15 00:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1818430076 What era came before the Elizabethan era? How was it different https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1818463171 The era before the Elizabethan era was the Jacobean era, this era was heavily influenced by its art and architecture. This era lasted from 24 Mar 1603 – 27 Mar 1625, and the monarch of this period was James VI and I. The society in the Jacobean era was mostly people from the upper class, these people were mostly royals and very wealthy people.

These two eras were quite similar but the few big differences are the type of people that were living there, in the Elizabethan era, there were a lot more poor people there. This also resulted to the job differences, since the Jacobean era was known for the arts and architecture, so most of society were tied into creating art pieces. This results to the two periods being quite similar but also having its differences ]]> 2021-10-15 01:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicacampbell99/sqm81nrosfdbqga4/wish/1818463171
