The Tudors

I had a fairly wide ranging education even though I missed chunks and arguably wasn't properly taught but I did study History to the equivalent of English A level standard and a chunk of that was about the Tudors in England and Wales.
We didn't go too much into education back then, although it was very much something the really well to do boys had back then and as can be seen from this marvellous illustration  a boy in a state of disgrace regarding his conduct would be birched in front of his peers.
It also was a period of judicial Corporal as well as Capital punishment if you were caught begging or stealing.
