History

I've written these articles as a general guide to the Elizabethan period and more specifically the subjects dealt with in my books.  They're not meant to be hard core history.  I hope to add more articles as I think of topics to write about.

  • Living in Elizabethan Times - a general primer including some (not so boring) statistics.

  • Social Order - from the queen to pauper and everyone in between. 

  • The Rights of Women - the status of women in society.  Could they choose whom they married?  Could they inherit?  COMING SOON.

  • Theatres - what they looked like. 

  • Players and their Companies - the theatre companies and how they were organized.

  • Witches and Superstition - what every Elizabethan witch would know, and some other superstitions of the times.

  • Pirate vs Privateer - not all pirates are created equal. 

  • Health and Medicine - all about illnesses, the medical profession and some interesting (and disgusting) remedies. 

  • Walsingham's Spy Network - COMING SOON
