Life in the 16th century wasn't very good. Actually it was awful. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Life wouldn't be nice as nowadays. The only entertainment would be to play with the cocks in the garden or to have a shower with the pigs. We would have to get up in 5 o'clock in the morning and to work whole day to go to bed at 10. It would be very boring so I don't want to live in the 16th century.
