[h-cost] Comments on The Tudors
I rented the disks from Blockbuster this weekend and had a couple of questions/comments. There is substantial mention of a sweating sickness that killed thousands during Henry VIII's time. What was that? No mention of buboes like for plague or marks like smallpox. Did this really happen or was it just part of their story? It was very contagious and people were told to burn all clothing bedding. I believe consumption is tuberculosis, right? Any other old disease names with modern equivalents I should know? I know the costumes were discussed when the show first came out What I found most jarring was anything from the neck up. The hairstyles were extremely modern. Long hair was down exposed. Crowns headgear, at least on the women, looked fantasy or Las Vegas. Julie in Ramona ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Yes, the sweat really happened. Try googling sweating sickness for more info.
