Pictures of the Tudors

Henry VIII

Edward VI's death

More diseases

Edward VI was known as the sickly king because he

died at only the age of 15 because he had tuberculosis

so the doctors knew that he would die.

The sweating sickness, the plague, smallpox, scrofula,

tuberculosis, and the puerperal fever. Most of these diseases are deadly and tuberculosis is actually around today but is only in some of the poor countries but here you can get vaccinations.

This is a video not about medicine and diseases but it is about Tudor Kings and Queens.

Other facts

Thank you for watching!

Bubonic plague is spread by direct contact with infected tissue or bodily fluids, bites from infected rodent fleas, or inhaling infected droplets.

Medicine

Tudor Medicine was extremely basic during a period when terrible illnesses such as the Bubonic Plague were killing nearly one third of the population of England. Almost all of the Tidor medicine was a load of rubbish.

Diseases

Smallpox:

Smallpox is another epidemic that took England by storm. When a person caught smallpox, they got bumps and rashes all over them, and although it was possible to survive it, the patient usually ended up scarred for life. Elizabeth I came down with smallpox very early in her reign, and managed to get away with minor scars, but her friend Mary Sidney, who cared for her during her illness, caught it from her and was scarred so badly she refused to show her face at court again.

Jane Seymour's death

Jane Seymour died on the 24th October 1537. She died

of puerperal fever a couple of days after giving birth to

Edward VI. Henry VIII was devastated at her death as she was his favorite wife and gave him a son.

Tudor Doctors

The Doctor depended on your class and whenever you had paid money to see them.

Gout

Gout is a disease that can only be caught by rich people

because it is caught by eating lots and lots of rich food.

Henry VIII had gout because he ate lots of rich food.

If you have gout, it makes you're legs swell up and go red.Apply to the affected foot a mixture made out of worms, pigs marrow, herbs all boiled together with a red-haired dog.

Tudor Medicine and Diseases

More Tudor medicine.

Tudors liked to think that sniffing lavender would stop you getting the plague. They also gave alcohol as an anesthetic. A Tudor ‘cure’ for a headache was to drink a medicine made up of a mixture of lavender, sage, marjoram, roses and rue.
