A new history of the Tudor world, told by uncovering ordinary people's grizzly fatal accidents. There is untold history of Tudor England - the history of the several million subjects of their famous kings and queens. What did ordinary people do all day, in their homes, their work, their leisure and travel? This title explores the history of everyday life, and everyday death. Here we learn that fatal accidents were much more likely to take place during the agricultural peak season, with cart crashes, dangerous harvesting techniques, horse tramplings and windmill manglings all as major causes.
