Well first off it was the TUDOR period,King Henry V111 was on the throne,and he was then married to Kathryne,catholisism was the religion, but when Henry meet Anne Bolyne he divorced Kathryn and created the Prodestant faith.
Conditions were very bad for the avarge person,wooden houses for the more weathy and huts for the peasants,people like Shakespear wrote plays and in those times only men were allowed to act on stage.Laws were draconion to say the least,treason was punishable by death,heads cut off and placed on poles, and set on Tower bridge,as an example( treason could be anything, from all out spying to running down the King not a good idea)there was plot intreague,and much stabbing in the back amounst the governing classes, i.e. Charnsellor,judges,clergy,all very powerfull men,anyone could concocked a wrong doing that offened the King by someone in high office, to get rid of them.
Drake was more in Elizabeathan times,the daughter of Ann Bolyne,Elizabeth 1 now she was her Father all over again,a extreamly powerfull woman,she stopped the Spanish from ivading England with the help of her( Fathers idea )the NavySir Francis Drake lead the ships out and blocked the invasion,
Sanitary conditions were the same all over the known world, filth was the norm,it was rare for a child to reach past the age of six if they did they lived to 40 but were much smaller in statuare than today, Drake was only 5ft and Raliegh was 4ft6ins but they were stronger, they had to be,all there lives they had to combat desease build up immunities,probably whats makes us English such a stubborn and dogmatic race.hope this answers your question.

16th century (aka the 1500s):
* Creation of the Church of England (aka Anglican Church aka Episcopalianism in the US) when Henry VIII wants to divorce his wife, and the Pope won't let him.
* Mary I aka Bloody Mary becomes queen, undoing Henry's church by reinstating Catholicism as the national religion and having as many as 300 Protestant dissenters executed.
* Elizabeth I becomes queen, encouraging the arts and bringing England into the Renaissance, and restoring the Church of England.
* William Shakespeare (late century and on into the next)
* Francis Drake sails around the world while going after the Spanish possessions in South America.
* Anglo-Spanish war (between England and Spain). Drake defeating the Spanish Armada, then later losing the English Armada in a failed land/sea war.

"England, Britain and uk In activities like Cricket, soccer (soccer), its England, while in activities like Olympics, its Britain, while some human beings call it uk?" NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! All incorrect! England isn't the comparable factor as Britain and neither are the comparable factor via fact the united kingdom England is in basic terms certainly one of four international places which make up the united kingdom. Scotland, Wales and northerly eire are equivalent participants interior the union with England. Britain, or greater wisely super Britain, is an island upon which maximum folk of england, Scotland and Wales are placed. Northern eire is placed on the neigbouring island of eire, which it shares with the Republic of eire, an autonomous sovereign state. the united kingdom a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, meaning the monarch (king or queen) does no longer in my view exercising skill, however the government derives their top to rule from her or him. The Queen is the ceremonial head of state, she isn't a toddler-kisser. the united kingdom has been a monarchy ever via fact it become formed in 1707, in spite of the shown fact that for the time of those days, the monarch become the top of government as properly via fact the top of state. They exercised finished skill over the rustic. previous to the union being formed, the dominion of Scotland and the dominion of england shared the island of super Britain. In 1801, the dominion of eire joined the union, at the same time as in 1922, the southern ingredient of eire seceded to become its own republic

People didn't wash very often, and they mostly died before they reached 5 years old. If they survived to adulthood, they rarely lived past 40. And their teeth fell out by the time they were 25.
Not too appealing, huh?
