Description

In addition to each chapter there are several fun and entertaining quizzes which you can take. I found these quite enjoyable and they really tested my knowledge about Tudor history. I especially liked the quiz in which you had to try and match the illness with the treatment that would be given. For example to cure gout a doctor would suggest boiling a red haired dog in oil, add worms, pigs marrow and herbs. Make a mixture and put it on the affected area. Delicious! There’s also a fun quiz at the end of the book in which you can test your overall Tudor knowledge (and yes all the answers are given in case you get stumped!)

It is part of the Horrible Histories series by Terry Deary and I have to say it’s just as enlightening and humorous in it’s gory and unique way as are the rest of them. It is a book of non-fiction filled with intriguing facts, questions, drawings, and fun quizzes, all to help enhance the learning experience and to really teleport you to the world of the Tudors.

What became of the headless wives of Henry? Was there really a punch up with the Pope? Meet Bloody Mary and watch as Ed falls dead in his bed and survive the Spanish Armada. Whoever said history was boring didn’t know you could leave the nasty bits in! Horrible Histories on stage! Fear not, Horrible Histories have you covered. get ready for Terrible Tudors live on stage in the West End. Settle in and meet people from history. There are horrid Henries and an evil Elizabeth, pull up a seat and prepare to hear the lore (and the lies) surrounding the torturing Tudors. Included among these shows are multiple Barmy Britain shows (parts one to five and the best of!). Besides the Terrible Tudors, there have also been Horrible Histories plays about the Vile Victorians, Awful Egytians, Ruthless Romans, Blitzed Brits and Groovy Greeks. Nottingham and the First World War each have their own show and there has been a Horrible Christmas show! As the title suggests, this book covers the period of history when Tudor monarchs ruled the country. The information is livened up by discussing not just what they did as monarchs, but also their personalities. Interesting stories revealing their personalities are frequently told, and this gives the reader an idea behind the personal motivations of why they behaved the way they did.

Abgerundet wird das Wissen durch kleine Rätsel und Quizfragen um den Lerneffekt zu überprüfen (Wer war Lambert Simnel?). Anyway, as ever it’s basically pretty good fun. I suppose thetruth‘Horrible Histories’always points tois that love of history comesdown to attitude. Here, we don’t actually learn much about Henry VIII, Elizabeth I or the other, lesser Tudors here that you wouldn’t learn in the classroom, it’s just that actors Ben Martin and Emma Swann gleefully barrel through the lurid bits at a rate of knots and make little effort to tax the audience with what it all means.Now let’s leave the filth behind – there’s a lot of that in Tudor England anyway – and return to Shakespeare. I won’t bore you with Shakespearean insults, because you might already know some of them from the multitude of articles found on the internet about this subject; but I’m sure that you haven’t heard of Shakespeare’s curse. Yes, King Tut is not alone when it comes to curses. Some people speculate that plays unknown to us might be buried with Shakespeare’s body, but nobody had the courage to open the tomb and put the curse to the test. Have I stirred your interest a little? Here is the epitaph the bard wrote himself:
