Question: What was the life expectancy for men and women during England's Tudor period!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The trouble with the way 'average life expectancies' are calculated, is that they do not reveal the actual ages that people lived to!. For instance, in the Tudor period the infant and child mortality rate was quite high, a lot of children were killed by infectious diseases that nowadays people are immunised against!.

However, people who survived the hazards of infancy and childhood actually had quite a good chance of living into their fifties or sixties or beyond!. There are quite a few prominent Tudors who lived to be in their seventies or eighties for instance!. Queen Elizabeth I died at 69, but her chief minister, Lord Burghley, lived to be 78, and Blanche Parry, Chief Gentlewoman of the Bedchamber, died at 82!.

That is to say, everyone didn't drop dead at 35!. A lot of peole died much younger than that, and a lot died much older!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
