• Here are some explanations for some of the
  punishments
• Beheading was only for rich and important people
  because it was a quick, which means less painful,
  punishment.
• If you were cut apart it was usually because you
• stole a loaf of bread.
• The Brank was for woman who gossiped too much and
  spoke too freely. It was a small type of cage
  that was fitted onto to your head which would be
  worn for several days.

• Stretching was done on a type of table with two
  wooden poles at the end. The poles had rope
  attached where your hands and ankles would be
  tied and then they would turn the poles which
  would stretch you.
• To hang someone you had to tie a rope around
  their neck and hang them on a stand and let them
  die.
• The drunken cloak was a barrel with arm, feet and
  head holes it was used for people who got drunk
  in public.
• The ducking stall was a punishment for women to
  see if they were a witch or not. It was a see saw
  with a chair at one end and a bucket at the
  other. You would put stones in the bucket and the
  witch on the chair. If she floated she was a
  witch if she sank she was not a witch but she
  drowned. Either way she died.

Vagrants.

• Vagrants were small groups of people who stole
  food to live. If they were caught they would be
  put in the stocks. Soon people thought they would
  rebel so they forced the vagrants with work. The
  poor were usually accused. Because they had no
  money. People were actually scared of vagrants
  because they thought they carried weapons.
  Collectors were checked if they were giving money
  out to the poor. You have to have a licence to
  beg at doors.

6
Facts.

• The poor relied on monks for food and money. You
  were kept in your house for your religion. You
  would be arrested if you swore the words oh
  god.

The Wyatt Rebellion.

• England feared that Mary would marry Philip the
  second of Spain. In 1534 a rebellion, led by sir
  Thomas Wyatt from Kent, started. Their weakness
  was popular support across the land and was
  doomed to fail. Men were equally alarmed to
  Mary's proposed marriage. They feared Spain would
  have a influence in their politics. They wanted
  Elizabeth to marry Edward, a man who Mary had
  rejected. His plan was to have a protest in 3
  different parts of the country at the same time.
  They marched into Southwark and demanded the
  queens surrender. In the end Mary promised not to
  marry Phillip and Wyatt was proclaimed a traitor.
