King Henry VIII had six wives, with Catherine of Aragon being his first and Jane Seymour being his third and only wife to give birth to a son before dying. Tudor houses differed between the rich, who lived in extremely large wooden homes, and the poor, who resided in much smaller wattle and daub structures. While the rich could afford to eat whatever they wanted, the poor had to subsist on whatever affordable or scavenged foods they could find. Education during the Tudor period was not widely available, with boys typically starting school at age 4 while girls were kept at home or sent to work, and discipline sometimes involved whipping disobedient children.
