Tudor and Stuart entertainment By Jake Whittaker
Horse racing • In Tudor times king Henry 8th loved horse racing so much that he changed the rules and made it that little kids from 8 be jockeys so that the horse could run faster because the kids are lighter.
dancing • Many Stuarts leant to dance because dancing was a very common thing because it was cheap. In Stuart times if people couldn't go out side they would most commonly dance.
Mean entertainment • Many Victorians like to watch people in court and see there trial and then(most commonly)watch the hanging. Also people would pay to go into a hospital and watch mad and ill people!
Old games • Board games like chess, draughts, and backgammon were popular, as were card games, and dice gmes. Skittles and billiards were other popular games. Games that now we associate with children, like hide and seek and blind man's buff, were played by adults as well in Tudor times.
jousting • Jousting was a game to be played by knights where they had to charge at each other on horses and hold a lance(a metal stick)and try to hit the other person off. The prize where very weird sometimes FISH? Some knights cheated by nailing themselves to the saddle or making there lance longer.
