Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Join us in stepping back to a time when death could come along in the most unexpected of ways. Strange Ways to Die in the Tudor Age pushes aside the mists of time to uncover the odd, unsettling and even amusing ways that people met their end in a century rife with superstition, violence and the constant threat of farmyard animals. From the streets of Europe to the courts of Asia and reaching across to the New World, this book is an interesting exploration of mortality, taking examples of real-life accounts of bizarre deaths from different continents and cultures. Whether it was those who fell prey to the ravages of disease or the ill-conceived attempts to cure them, cruel punishments or the ever-swinging pendulum of religion, this book delves into them all and proves that as harsh and unpredictable as nature could be, humanity could often be much worse. Strange Ways to Die in the Tudor Age is an intriguing, morbidly fascinating and at times mildly irreverent look at the way our ancestors shuffled off this mortal coil. Perfect for history lovers and those with a penchant for the macabre alike, this book offers a safe glimpse at mortality that is sure to have readers questioning how on earth humanity has lasted this long. AUTHORS: Emily has always loved everything historical and is a fountain of knowledge about the Tudor period, particularly in medicine. Born and raised in King's Lynn, Norfolk, Emily comes from a strong and affectionate family whose support she could not live without. Whilst obtaining a degree in Forensic and Investigative Studies from Coventry University, Emily decided to try and indulge one of her other passions of musical theatre by joining a society where she was approached by a strange Brummie who has hung around ever since. As well as working as a full-time IT technician, Emily always makes time for her creative passions. She is a Senior Production Assistant and leading actress for Purple Dreams Productions, a touring theatre company and, along with Carrie, an avid member of The Watlington Players. You can also find Emily on the radio waves on weekend mornings with her shows on Radio West Norfolk. Born and raised in Birmingham, England, Carrie has had a deep passion for the past from an early age, something her parents encouraged. Spending many weekends wandering wide-eyed around Warwick Castle or exploring nearby National Trust properties - when she was not lost in a book, Carrie learned as much as she could about history with a particular enthusiasm for the ancient and mediaeval worlds. Whilst studying for a music degree at Coventry University, she crossed paths with Emily through their shared love of the TV show Supernatural, and the two have been friends ever since. Moving down to Norfolk in 2014, Carrie continued her love of the past, eventually obtaining a master's degree in Classics in 2019. Carrie now works as a Research and Data Analyst and is an active member of the Watlington Players amateur dramatic group, as well as hosting the successful A Nice Cup of Histortea Podcast with Emily, which enjoys a global listenership. 30 b/w illustrations Join us in stepping back to a time when death could come along in the most unexpected of ways.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Strange Ways to Die in the Dark Ages takes an amusing yet grim dive into the bizarre, unexpected, and downright ridiculous ways people met their untimely ends in early medieval Europe. Join us as we recount tales of battles gone awry and tell the stories of monarchs who demonstrated they might not be all that fit for the throne. Together, we will uncover what weird and wonderful ways our ancestors attempted to cure themselves or the awful inventions created to torture and execute each other. Tread carefully in the past, though, as you never quite know what perils are lurking. From Viking warriors felled by cheese to kings who perished in toilet-related mishaps, this book uncovers the strange, often absurd realities of life and death in an age of superstition, blood feuds, and very questionable medical advice. Packed with dark humour, historical oddities, and stories so strange they simply must be true, this is history as you've never read it before-deadly, disturbing, and delightfully ridiculous!
