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

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.
