The Tudor Poor

During the Tudor period, the biggest problem they faced was the
increase of poverty. There are many reasons why there was an increase
and some of the reasons are written down below:

 Rulers:
Henry VII had a law that nobles were not allowed to have private
armies, so the ex-soldiers were looking and begging for job,
especially when there was no war on. In 1530, Henry VIII closed
down all monasteries, monasteries provided shelter, food and
work for the local people.

 Population:
In 1500’s the population almost doubled, more people were
looking for jobs and needed food. Many of the poor people were
wandering in town for food and jobs.
  Changings in farming:
Many farmers changed from crop farming to sheep farming,
which needed fewer farmers. They also put up fences and hedges
around their fields so poorer people could not let their animals
gaze on the fields.

 Weather:
Very wet summer days ruined crops. Bad harvest means smaller
food and higher prices. Poorer families could not afford to buy the
food and eat
