Life in England 500 years ago involved limited education opportunities with boys beginning school at age 4 to be educated for work and girls taught household skills. Entertainment varied between social classes, with rich people enjoying music, games, and sports while poor people mostly worked in factories. Medicine was rudimentary, consisting of herbal remedies, and diseases were often believed to be caused by an imbalance of bodily fluids, as there was no national healthcare system and doctors' practices varied widely. Travel was also difficult, with pilgrimages being a popular form of long-distance journey but roads facing dangers from bandits, and mostly limited to aristocrats and nobles.
