Because there was no official police force during the Tudor times, the crime rate was very high. However, the punishments used to try to prevent crime were rather extreme!
1. What were the most common crimes committed by the Tudors and what were the punishments for committing these crimes?
2. What do you think about the punishments? Were they fair or too harsh?
3. Were there any well known Tudors who were punished for their crimes? Which punishments did they face?
I think the punishments were to harsh in the Tudor times.
ReplyDeleteWhich punishment do you consider to be the most harsh and why?
DeletePersonally I would choose beheading because it's related to sudden death. I also chose beheading because they separate a part of your body so you can't heal yourself.
DeleteIn Tudor times there there punishments were horrible.
ReplyDeletein Tudor times in schools if they are late they will get beaten so they have to hold out there hand then beat them very hard with a long stick
ReplyDeleteThey had ponishments for like killing people some just wanted to deheaded them or chop ther fingers of just because they didn't like them some of them got strangled when there neck when there was hanging on the rope.
ReplyDeletethe Tudors was stealing money from the bank there was killing people.I think the punishments was to harsh because there was strangling people beheading people cutting peoples legs and putting peoples head in wood and frowning food at them.the Tudors were very rood to each over.
ReplyDeleteI think beheading and boiling people is not a really bad because everyone is human and Henry VIii would not like it if it was the other way round so I don't think It was a good idea
ReplyDeleteThere were no police during the Tudor times. However, laws were harsh and wrong doing was severely punished. In Tudor times the punishments were very, very cruel. People believed if a criminal’s punishment was severe and painful enough, the act would not be repeated and others would deter from crime as well.Beheading ("Death by the Axe")This was a punishment that resulted in your head being chopped off! The heads were sometimes placed on spikes along London Bridge or other places.Beheading was considered less degrading than hanging, and it usually killed more quickly. Noblemen (rich) who committed crimes were more likely to be beheaded than hung.Hanging from the gallows. A piece of rope was put around the neck making it hard for the person to breathe. The person would be hung from the rope until he/she had stopped breathing and was dead. People were hung for crimes such as stealing, treason, rebellion, riot or murder.
ReplyDeletethey had very cruel punishments.They would be hit painful enough but if someone was to brake the law would have the head chopped of 70,000 people suffered the death penalty during the reign of Henry VIII some king people would often punishment taken places there crimes were stealing begging murder treason and fraud. there to harsh because i think there punishment should be hit them with a belt once but stealing in prison.
ReplyDeletethere was women found guilty of treason or petty treason were sentenced to be burned alive at the stake crushed.for attempting to murdering someone you could be boiled alive in a big bowl of hot water. many towns had a whipping post. the victim was chained to the post stripped to the waist and whipped. you can be whipped for stealing a loaf of bread.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think the punishments were so harsh Destin?
DeleteI think that the crimes were harsh because there was some small crimes and the punishment really hurts. Some might even kill people. They could have been arrested as well because they have soldiers.
DeleteThe most common crimes were getting whipped,tortured and abused.
ReplyDeleteSome punishments were not so bad but other punishments were really scary like,chopping up a person then putting them in a big sack.
Lots of Tudors committed a crime like Mary 1 she exacuted many people but did not face her punishment,of course because she was the child of the king although she has been named Bloody Mary for how many people she exacuted.
Some of the punishment were very bad like having your head chopped off and being burned or get drowned but there are some not so bad one like get stuck in a barrel or have chains around your legs so you can't work.
ReplyDeleteRemember Eve to put some commas in your writing to give breath to the reader.
Deleteif you be late you will be smacked with a bunch of sticks and if you splat some ink you will be smacked in both hands if you do something like that.
ReplyDeleteGosh, it seems punishments were very severe at school as well Assia. Good research.
DeleteThank you miss diss
DeleteThe punishment was they got boiled alive, whipping and branding with the hot iron.the bad thing was they hang their neck on the rope because they had to do the punishment. But 70'00 people suffed the death.
ReplyDeleteDo you know which monarch had the most people sent to death as a punishment Shaquan?
DeleteI think it was Bloody Mary because she killed a lot of Protestant people in gruesome ways. But so did Elizabeth 1, with Catholics instead.
DeleteSome 70,000 people suffered the death penalty during the reign of Henry VIII.
ReplyDelete1. Vagrancy(Homelessness) was a very common crime and was punished by whipping, or even hanging.
ReplyDelete2. Today it would be unfair to behead someone, but there was no police force.
3. Dick Turpin was hanged for horse theft.
I found it very shocking that vagrancy was considered such a serious crime Fathia. Why do you think this was?
DeleteBecause the vagrants might have not been vagrant at all. They could trick people for money, or even be associated with a murderer who hates anyone against him/her. Also the government could have spent thousands on free houses but the people kept sleeping on the street to annoy them.
Deleteheading means that your head gets chopped off with a axe. they also did that because it was fast death. hanging means that you get hang by a rope they would do this if some one was stealing.some people had there hands cut of if they were stealing to teach them a lesson not to steal.the drunk yards claok means you would be put in a heavy barrel and you cant get out of it.
ReplyDeleteIn Tudor London crimes were very serious, people were afraid that varagants and peasents were murders or criminals. If you had a small amount of money it could mean a death penalty, one of the Tudor crime punishmets was the spiked maiden, it was a coffin shaped as a woman with shoe and and needle spikes in side then they would put you in a ditch and fill it up with soil. Another Tudor crime punishment was the back, first you would lie down on your back the where was a big knife at the top then they would slice half of your back of.They did this because they had no police until the Gorgian period when a rich man created it and named it , then it was later called the police force.They changed the name during the middle of the Victorian period.
ReplyDeleteFantastic research Ellie! Can you tell us anything about how crime and punishment differed for the upper and lower classes?
DeleteUpper class people, didn't suffer an unfair prosecute as much as lower class people did. If rich people where sent to prison, and they had a religion they would be able to afford a bed food and much more luxurious items. Meanwhile pore people who were in prison where forced to sleep on hay, sometimes if you were caught during the theft, the convict would be sent to Newgate prison , then were taken on a ship for 6 months at sea all the way to New south whales up north, just like Mary Wade who was a convict, then became one of the founding mothers of Australia. Mary Wade was a lower class citizen and a few years later she was a founding mother. Leaving 50 children in different categories such great grand children .
Deletethere were no police during the tudor time however law were harsh and wrong doing was severiy punished in tudor time the punished were verey verey cruel people believe if a criminais punishment was sere and painfui.
ReplyDelete. Burning
ReplyDeleteWomen found guilty of either treason or petty treason were sentenced to be burned alive at the stake.
Why was it normally women, Rafaela?
DeleteBecause I found in Tudor times, brussel sprouts were rare, so maybe cooking with lots of them was considered weird. They would ask " How did you find them?" "You're a witch!" Then they would burn them.
DeleteThere were no police during the tudor time.However/laws were harsh and wrongdoing was severely
ReplyDeleteSome people,who stole from shops had their hands cut of
ReplyDeletePut a full stop at the end, Rachel.
Deletein Tudor times for punishments they choped heads,they hand cuff you to wood and throw vegtables Punishment used during Tudor times,if somone broke the law
ReplyDeleterose Methods of execution
Why did people throw vegetables do you think?
DeleteThey throw vegetable to humiliate people and make them fell small
Deleteif you steel you will have to cut your hand and you will be put somewere that you will be all smacked with fruit and veg
ReplyDeleteSome punishments were beheaded,exacution,branding,boiled alive,killed and pierced in the heart.
ReplyDeleteTudor punishments were very harsh because they thought if they had a bad enough punishment it would encourage other people to not do it.
ReplyDeletePunishments eventually got out of hand so most prisoners were put to death. Some of theTudor punishments were the rack,beheading,hanging,burning,boiled alive and whipping. To be continued
Good researching! What was the rack?
DeleteThe rack is a torture punishment. What happens is they would put the prisoner on a rectangular, wooden frame then the victims ankles are fastened to one roller and there risks are chained together.
DeleteThere were no police during the Tudor times.However laws were harsh and wrongdoing was severely punished .In Tudor times the punishments were very ,very cruel. people believed if a criminals punishment was severe and painful enough , the act would not be repeated and others would deter from crime as well.
ReplyDeleteFor Number 2
ReplyDeleteI Think The Burning One Is The Worst One Can YOU Imagine Being Burned Alive I Find It So Crul.
I Think Executing Is The Worst I Fell Sorry For Those People.
That Is All I Have For Now.
there were punishments like,whipping,boiled alive,beheaded,burned a live shackles they took punishments too far
ReplyDeleteone of them were limb cut of they would do it if you stole some think from the shop
ReplyDeleteI think that it is fair because they done something wrong and if it is that bad that is why it is so bad.They did stuff like heading,boiling alive, stock and burning with iron.
ReplyDeleteI think the punishment is to harsh because they shouldn't be killing people
ReplyDeletetudors had to make poeple drown in the water and chop there heads of and hands because there stolen some thing from the king and queen and there toled the guards to chop there heads of and the king and queen are happy.
ReplyDeleteMellisa, Next time spell your words, put full-stops and capital letters in your sentences.
DeleteI think the punishments was really harsh because in the time of today you will go in jail but in the Tudor times there were no police so if you made a crime the punishment will be up to death for example: beheading,hanging,burning and boiling alive.
ReplyDeleteIn your opinion, which was the most severe punishment Jason?
DeleteBeheading because it was used for rich people and Henry VIII hated people that were rich or richer than him.
Deletei beleive there harsh because in 2017 we have police and we have a jail back then if they would commit a crime they would be caned ,beheaded,chocked , shackled and more but i dont know if shakespear is terrible ,to me he is a good .if i had to choose between 90s or tudors i`ll have to go with tudors the reason why is because in the 90s they had police and in tudors they had guards and the only thing gaurds will listen to is henry VIII and if the guards didn`t listen they will get behedead
ReplyDeleteTamari, please use some capital letters at the beginning of your sentence.
DeleteIn Tudor times you had to behave or
ReplyDeleteyou will get this
boiled alive,stock,burned,rack,
beheading,whipped,executed,
head chopped,and dumped in
water.
Not just that a lot more...
Beheading and your head chopped off are the same thing.
DeleteThe punishments were too harsh in the Tudor times because they boiled people alive and chop there head off, there were no police officers so there had to do very harsh punishments, they had to hang people up, and they had to stretch there body's. People had comet it so much crimes over 70,000 people died when they comet it there crimes and the very horrible punishments were chopping there heads off, burning people, hanging, whipping, boiled alive and stretching people.
