The Elizabethan era is the epoch in English history marked by the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603). Historians often depict it as the golden age in English history.If most people from today went back to Elizabethan times the living conditions would disgust them. Most Elizabethans did not shower more than once a
year and did not eat very nutritious diets. Because of this, the average life span was about thirty years. In addition, one half of the children born during
this time would not make it to adulthood. During this time, most doctors had very primitive ways of treating their patients. One of the most common methods of treatment was bleeding. Doctors believed that bleeding helped let out bad blood. However, it often did more bad then good.
