In the 16th century many people died in epidemics of sweating sickness (possibly influenza). Many others died of smallpox. (Queen Elizabeth I almost died of it. However she was given the most advanced medical treatment for smallpox -she was wrapped in red cloth.) Even if you survived smallpox it could leave you disfigured with pox marks or blind. Syphilis was also rampant. Dysentery was also a killer and many women died in childbirth (usually because of infection). Also the plague was very common.
