Tudor England is a significant part of KS2 history and this is the last of three quizzes on the subject. Specifically it looks at what everyday life was like for ordinary people living in the Tudor era.
The Tudor period is thought of as the beginning of the modern age. Many things associated with the Middle Ages, like the wealth of monasteries and feudalism, came to an end under the Tudors. But what was everyday life like for the ordinary people living in Tudor England? The Tudors had many new inventions that meant life was becoming a little better than it had been in medieval times. But it could still be hard - especially for the poor. Almost everything had to be done by hand at home and so housewives were very busy people!
Take this quiz and find out how much you know about everyday life for the ordinary people of Tudor England.
