Disease


 * The Plague **


 * The plague is one of the most well diseases in the Tudor times it could sweep out thousands and thousands of people in a week lots of strong & young British people and when king Henry VIII heard Henry VIII and his court went out of Britain to the countryside so that they did not get the plague and to be healthier. The plague was so bad that most people in Britain left and went to different places like Henry VIII did. Henry VIII stayed in the countryside till the plague left Britain, and every few years or so it would sweep through the country Henry VIII really did get healthier when he left England and went to the countryside, it has been said that the plague has been spread by rats, although no one back then knew how sickness occurred and could only hope that it passed you by. The plague died out along with the sweating sickness long ago. **
