Homebrewer here! The workday beers/ales of that period were often just alcoholic enough to keep them from spoiling, especially "small beer" types. They saved the stronger stuff for after they were done with their day. (exceptions, of course) This is part of why there was such a problem when cheap gin hit the market. People were used to drinking by the mug-full, and the gin was several orders of magnitude stronger than what they were used to. (even without the often harmful contaminants. )
This piqued my curiosity with the part about harmful contaminants. I've found that sulphuric acid, turpentine and lime oil could be commonly included at the time. With lime oil, I had to read up on this as it didn't sound too dangerous at first, but, on researching, I see that essential oils from unripe limes can lead to blood, liver and kidney problems. I imagine other/additional contaminants may also have been present? Are you aware of any common or interesting contaminants that I haven't drawn mention to?
@James Declerk Indeed calling that an alcoholic drink you can get drunk on is almost as insane as suggesting one is going to get drunk on a couple of cans of shandy (Pre-packaged stuff I mean, you can make it way stronger doing it yourself obviously). Hell it takes some effort and willingness to deal with discomfort to down 4% fast enough to get particularly drunk, much bellow that and you are limited by the sheer inability to deal with the excess water fast enough to make room to drink more.
Literally one of the most engaging and interesting historically correct tours of Tudor London. I love the old game look and Greensleeves played as old game music. Well researched and really interesting. This should be played in schools for history lessons, far more engaging than the dusty old books we had to learn from, I think kids would really engage with this. Brilliant in every way, love it!
This video seems to be mostly based on the book, “A Time-Traveller’s Guide to Elizabethan London”, by Ian Mortimer. It’s a factual, popular history book, written as a tour guide to Elizabethan London, and it goes into all of this stuff, albeit, more in depth. He also has a book called “The Time-Traveller’s Guide to Medieval London”, and Jabzy has a video on that, as well. I highly recommend both books, if you’re interested in seeing history from this perspective!
Note to self: If I ever have 5 minutes to pack prior to a time jump back to Tudor London, don't forget the entire spice rack! That stuff will keep me alive for a while through trade... or someone will just kill me and take my stash.
The late Terry Pratchett, in his Discworld Novels, described life in Ankh Morpork, a medieval city obviously inspired on old London. There was the beggar's guild the thieves' guild, the assassin's guild, while not even mentioning the regular guilds (bakers, butchers, merchants). "Halt! Unlicensed thief!" He just robbed me at knife point and I never even saw a licence.
Please don't stop with these kind of videos! Justinian's Constantinople, Shogunate Edo, Medieval Rome, Venice during the republic (maybe during the Renaissance?), Abassid Baghdad,etc... There's so much cool stuff!
I agree, i'd love to see how to survive the Georgian and Regency period as well as the early or late Victorian times, or surviving Russia dung peter the greats tzarship.
King thinks you're cute. Choose: a) Be graceful and say thank you b) Ignore the guy c) Run and hide - Chose any answer but C or cheat password to look unattractive to him in person - You've been beheaded / died in childbirth - GAME OVER -
@@exterminans True. It is never easy, but in some countries easier than it was in Tudor times. When and where would you rather be poor - London (or Sydney where I am and except for about 8 weeks a year with much better weather) today or London in Tudor times. At least you are not going to be branded for begging now.
@@exterminans Depends on what definition of easy and poor is. A poor person in 2022 in a developed country lives a life a poor person in the 1500s would consider unimaginably luxurious. As the world gets richer, definitions of poor and what constitutes an easy life keeps being revised up. If they weren't, if we use say a standard comparing the average poor person throughout human history to the average poor person in the developed countries in the past 150 years, we can definitely say the latter have had historically easy lives.
I love the idea of putting yourself into a historical context. It's the proximity to history that a lot of history lovers crave. So many narratives are top-down, but this bottom-up social history is cool. Keep doing these!

If you're traveling back in time to Elizabethan England you can easily stock up on Elizabethan coins. Elizabethan coins aren't that expensive to buy and are easily found. Arrive with a few hundred coins and you won't have to work or can buy a business. Arrive with enough coins and you can buy land, employ people and become landed gentry.
Or something like this were you could be randomized into a different class of people in a different time, like one time you could take the place of a Royal, or another session you could take the place of a farmer, ect.
I couldn't tell you what it is but man, this video is so relaxing. I remember being stressed out but then I found the Constainople video and in like 20 minutes I was relaxed. Great work, please make more of this wonderful videos!!
There should be VR games that just let you explore different places at certain historical times. Nothing super actiony, just trying to survive. Maybe experiencing different societal roles.
I thought of stuff like that, just get all of known info about history and shove it into an ai and let it generate the world. ofcourse this idea is for the future
I'm not even finished watching but I had to pause to give praise to the mid-80s overly digitized Nintendo version of Greensleeves that you're using here. Nice touch.

Because you idiot. Tulsa had white people kill blacks. Even the united states air force dropping bombs on them. While at such a serious historical event was disrespectful. Imagine if a jewish woman goes to a Holocaust memorial and started twerking on a dude dressed as a nazi. Saying my savior. Now do you understand?
@@MasterHaloOne It wasn't 'the united states airforce' it was a private citizen with an airplane that dropped a bomb. 39 people died of whom 26 were black and 13 white, dont compare it with the holocaust, stop making shit up, and stop virtue signalling.

Hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the 'vagabonds sentenced to slavery' thing was only between 1547 and 1550, as the 1547 Vagrancy Act was repealed and the 1531 Vagabonds Act with less harsh terms was reinstated. Thanks for the video regardless, loving the art style!
What a masterpiece of a video! I’m sure it’s not easy to cover so many aspects of every day life 400 years ago in a single video, but you did it exceptionally well! You got yourself a new subscriber

“The teaching of the law was banned within the city in 1234”. This sounds like it should have been a big event, like well documented and well studied. All I can find online is a footnote on wikipedia.

@@MasterHaloOne It wasn't 'the united states airforce' it was a private citizen with an airplane that dropped a bomb. 39 people died of whom 26 were black and 13 white, dont compare it with the holocaust, stop making shit up, and stop virtue signalling.
@@jugadorcastriot7796 isn't that just on the low end of the death estimate given how many bodies must have burned with the city?
There are tons of infotainment videos of similar or better quality. This isn't unique. I commend creators like this. You just aren't finding the good stuff, apparently. Yeah, lots of people only watch trash. Just be proud you're above that tendency.
Whoa, I got so into this I was shocked when it ended and I realized it was 45 minutes long!
Thanks
Love this format as well as the art style.
Hey, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the 'vagabonds sentenced to slavery' thing was only between 1547 and 1550, as the 1547 Vagrancy Act was repealed and the 1531 Vagabonds Act with less harsh terms was reinstated. Thanks for the video regardless, loving the art style!
This is such a cool art style!! I absolutely loved it and it just made the whole vid intriguing. Please make more stuff like this.
Hopefully Rome will be coming out soon
This was great! Please make it a series
Well done. I really enjoyed this video.
So much work ! Congrats ! The vidéo will be a classic of your channel hope we see other like this :D
This series is incredible please make more of these
Everything was so well done - from the historical research to the visuals!
One of the best UA-cam videos I’ve watched in some time ! Well done!
I can’t believe I watched the entire video from start to end. Well done, interesting and engaging content.
Great video! Looking forward to more like this.
I REALLY love this style and would love to see more survival guides if possible
Very Interesting! brilliant insight into lives of people and working situations, living in these hard times ..enjoyed the history side of it too..!
This is amazing. Thank you for the time and effort that went into this! ✨
This is literally one of the best videos on youtube ever.
really engaging, i feel like a got a good feel for the information. thanks!!! it's fun to see how different and yet similar things are today
What a masterpiece of a video! I’m sure it’s not easy to cover so many aspects of every day life 400 years ago in a single video, but you did it exceptionally well! You got yourself a new subscriber
Wowww, dude! The visuals are amazing!! I loved how the pokemon theme was used to tell the story. I got hooked immediately!! I could watch any history video done in this specific style. Great content as well. Wow 👌 well done guys 👊
This video is fantastic! I love the visuals
Very cool! And thank you for keeping the music down so that it did not get annoying. A lot of "Nintendo style" vids make that mistake - you did not.
This is fantastic. I especially love the pixel art and the map showing a real city and where you are when you're speaking.
“ Football was just a big punch up between hundreds of people with a ball in there somewhere”😅
How many Can Read? Hope you can answer - and do so for as many different Centurys and Countrys as possible
“The teaching of the law was banned within the city in 1234”. This sounds like it should have been a big event, like well documented and well studied. All I can find online is a footnote on wikipedia.
I just found this today. How this isn’t getting suggested when I watch a lot of similar content to this is frustrating.
Fascinating! I certainly wouldn't want to live in those times. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic walkthrough!
This needs more views! Please do more videos in this style!
Super well done, really liked the new artstyle. Keep it up!
This channel has a lot of potential, keep it up. First video I’ve seen of yours and I subscribed. I think you could make it even more immersive by keeping the present tense constant. Like “is” and “will be” versus “was.”
A few hundred years ago you had to get a professional to hunt pigeons and now they literally don't move out of the way as you drive your car right up to them.
Really high quality video. Loved it
Loving the historical tourism. Would love to see a similar one about Germany or Rome!
I love this video! Great format and attention to detail
You pay so much attention to details even the graphics is from the era 👍🏼
This is absolutely fantastic. Love the art style , art and music. Deserve more views. Keep up the good work , I really like this format please please do more topics in this style !
Thanks man
@@JabzyJoe Please don’t be put off making more of these videos due to the lack of views. Maybe next time split the videos into shorter 15 minute videos to help the algorithm. As someone who watches a lot of history videos on UA-cam you’ve got something really unique, different and captivating.
I really like this video but I’ve had to come back to it about three times to finish watching it as I don’t have 40 mins continuously free, Someone who isn’t as interested as me may not bother to come back as their attention has been given to something else. Keep up the great work I look forward to seeing more
Please keep making videos in this style! 10 out of 10.
This was amazing. Please do more of these!
New subscriber here; very well done! Greetings from Greece!
Excellent video, hope in time this does numbers so we can get another one like it
Please more survival guides like this! Absolutely phenomenal!
This was a delightful watch! Thank you!
Great vid!….Just subbed….Can I recommend The Ming Dynasty, China ?? The traditions-inside & outside the Ming Court-were the most bizarre of any place/era I’ve ever studied (and of course, were mimicked by the Japanese & Koreans)….
Thanks!
I really hope you keep making these style videos they’re so enjoyable
I absolutely loved watching this! Thankyou ❤️
