A. It was more common for the wealthier families to arrange marriages. Poorer people could marry later and had more choice. The wealthier, or more noble, you were, the more important it was to have your daughter or son contract a good marriage; it meant that both families would have advantages in being connected, adding on more wealth, property and power. Royalty, though, arranged marriages for their very young children, sometimes even having ideas before they were born. This would create favourable alliances and, again, add to the wealth and power of each. They were political. Mary, daughter of Katherine of Aragon and Henry VIII, for instance, was betrothed at the age of two, and several times afterwards, even though these matches… [cont.]

A. Not an expert but I think he would wear these are some possibilities: Kimono that covers skin - keep from sunburn but light enough to let air through for ventelation, maybe trousers / loose pants straw sandals, a straw hat for shade from the sun, and maybe have hands wrapped in cloth for protection from pulling weeds, string to tie komono sleeves back so as not to ge caught or ruined. Maybe cloth for sweat on head. I don't know what colors would be good though, except that the kimono might be plain - since it's work-clothes and status would be an issue. The season or weather might have an impact too.

Asked by Kate M - Sat Sep 15 14:24:07 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There wouldn't be much difference between what a 16th century and 21st century butcher would do...but I'd better explain. In the 16th century butchers would purcase live animals from farmers. The butcher would then slaughter the animal, then cut the body into servable pieces(such as brisket, different cuts of steak, tongue), and process much of what was left (into sausages, head cheese, etc.). They would do this using different knives, saws and grinders, using, of course, no power tools! Then they'd sell their products over the counter. In the 21st century, the animals are sent to a mechanized abbatoir(fancy word for meat-processing plant!), where this is all done using modern technology, but the abbatoir sends the processed and… [cont.]

What was the extent of involvment of Catholic priests in 16th century warfare?
Q. I'm an irish renactor for a renaissance acting group (military). I'm familar with the 12th-14th century practice of exhorting and blessing troops before battle and the occasional defrocked priest entering battle directly, but information on priest's involvment in 16th century warfare seems hard to find. Did they still exhort and bless soldiers? Care for the sick? lend a swordarm against protstant forces? My only source so far for anything about battle practices is a scene of a pair of priests conversing with a soldier of Robert the Bruces. One carries a sword, but I don't know if that's fanciful or not.

A. *Is Catholic* Great question. As you probably know, priests did a lot of the battlefield clean up and caring for the dying besides blessing the troops before battle. The blessing of forces still goes on today, even in the US Armed Forces. To have a priest actually fight in the war, that was not looked favorably upon by Rome. I am pretty sure that I once saw something official. There may have been certain instances when priests did take up arms, especially those cases of dire need. Priests would have known weaponry at that time. If a priest carried a sword, it would have been for self defense. Since you are interested in Irish stuff, priests and Catholics did a lot of dying during that time of the 16th century. See stuff like the… [cont.]

A. Main points of how European Nations came to have such wealth is mainly the influx of funds from the Americas. The Spainsh and to a lesser degree the portugese imported massive amounts of gold and rare (well rare in europe) spices and other consumables. Some countries, like England and the Netherlands because they were at war with or because of religious or political tension, licensed privateers, Pirates with letters of marque to prey on this shipping. Other forms of economic downflow from Monarch to nobility and the church came usually from taxes. "Extravagant living" is merely the large difference from rich and poor.

A. Resources. Think of all the fuel, precious metals, and fertile farmland out there! If we don't do it, the Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch -- not to mention our sworn arch-nemeses the French -- will grab it all. One day, colonization will become quite taboo, so if we don't do it soon, we may not have a chance down the road.

A. First thing to keep in mind is that Shakespeare was never known to have ever met a Jew, so anything he wrote was based on public opinion at the time. Additionally, there were no Jews in England *for* him to meet because England had expelled all the Jews for being Jewish. In general, the church from that time period hated Jews (to the point of murder - often) because they accused Jews of killing Jesus (though they didn't), because they charged interest (usury) on loans (because Jews were prohibited to do any other form of work by the law of that country), blood libels, and for various other unfounded stereotypes that exist to this day - and still result in Jewish deaths, to this day. The Jews in general didn't hate the church, more often… [cont.]

A. Henry the 8th - a tutor monarch ! Technically he didn't intentionally make the church ! He wanted a male heir and he was in love with Anne Bolye so he wanted a divorce, catherine, his wife. But the pope wouldn't let him or agree to divorce as it is against catholic teaching! So he went away from the pope and made his own church, a protestant church. This was called the English reformation. Later he passed the act of supremacy that made him the head of the church of England. So he pursued what he did for his personal reasons of his love for another woman and for a male heir to this throne.
