In addition to being well educated and politically adept, Elizabeth was a skilled musician playing the lute and virginal (an early precursor to the piano), and dancer. Even into her 40s she could dance with youthful grace and energy such Italian dances as the lavolta which required one to step high and lively. When not dancing she would count the cadence for other dancers with an imperious foot.
Each summer, Elizabeth led her court on an annual “royal progress, a leisurely 1-2 month tour of the country that, in addition to avoiding disease stricken London, made her visible and accessible to her subjects. Accommodating the royal court was not cheap, since it typically traveled with up to 300 wagons and carts.
Much of Elizabeth’s appeal was she would give full attention to any entertainments her people would put on for her, such as this “wild man” covered with moss & ivy reciting a humorous poem for the queen while returning from the hunt. For subjects overawed by her majesty’s presence, she would warmly say “Be not afraid” to calm their nerves.
Popular entertainments for the common folk were somewhat rough and tumble, including bear baiting where spectators would bet on which dog would last longest while attacking a tethered bear. Other popular sports were logrolling, where the goal was to break as many of an opponent’s toes as possible, and cock-fighting where specially bred roosters with metal spurs and sharpened beaks would fight to the death. Even schoolboys were allowed to bring their killer birds to school each Shrove Tuesday so they could fight in the school cockpit.
Even the world’s most popular sport, soccer, has somewhat brutal roots in Elizabethan England. Each Shrove Tuesday, apprentices (with the close cut hair and woolen cap)s would engage in a no-holds-barred game with a leather-cased ball. The game had no apparent rules or restrictions except to get the ball to the other team’s end of town. Such games typically degenerated into brawls that offered opportunities to settle old scores. as one contemporary put it: “sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes their backs…sometimes one part thrust out of joint. “ Local residents and merchants hated his sport, scurrying to protect their goods while shouting curses and shaking their fists (sometimes from rooftops) at the rowdies

Henry VIII’s Grace a Dieu, AKA Great Harry, was the first ship to carry a large number of guns, including some weighing two tons & capable of firing a 66-pound shot 500 yards. However it kept the old ship design with high castles & grappling hooks for close combat. Its keel length, 150’, was only twice its width. The crew of 700 included 400 soldiers, also reflecting the older style of warfare Philip's grand strategy - Get army in Neth's-> invade Eng. -> Dutch rebels-> Fr.

Another of Henry VIII’s ships, the Mary Rose sinks in a storm after its gun ports, only 14” above the water line, were left open.. Loading large numbers of heavy cannon on the older style ships made them top heavy and more vulnerable to storms.

Its keel length of 131’ was three times its width. Its crew of 600, including officers, were all specialized sailors who could fight hand to hand if called upon. However, compared to Spanish ships, its strength lay in its speed and the firepower from its 80 guns
