Book description
Join us in stepping back to a time when death could come along in the most unexpected of ways. Strange Ways to Die in the Tudor Age pushes aside the mists of time to uncover the odd, unsettling and even amusing ways that people met their end in a century rife with superstition, violence and the constant threat of farmyard animals.From the streets of Europe to the courts of Asia and reaching across to the New World, this book is an interesting exploration of mortality, taking examples of real-life accounts of bizarre deaths from different continents and cultures. Whether it was those who fell prey to the ravages of disease or the ill-conceived attempts to cure them, cruel punishments or the ever-swinging pendulum of religion, this book delves into them all and proves that as harsh and unpredictable as nature could be, humanity could often be much worse.Strange Ways to Die in the Tudor Age is an intriguing, morbidly fascinating and at times mildly irreverent look at the way our ancestors shuffled off this mortal coil. Perfect for history lovers and those with a penchant for the macabre alike, this book offers a safe glimpse at mortality that is sure to have readers questioning how on earth humanity has lasted this long.
