Elizabethan woman had a lot of children because many of the babies died young because of sickness and other things. Even with a lot of child births not all families were large. It was also considered a great honor for a woman to give birth. Also there was no reliable form of contraception so women usually became pregnant frequently.

Who decided on marriage in the Elizabethan era?

Marriage during the Elizabethan era was hardly what it is today in Western culture. Women were without legal power and subservient to their husbands. They were dependent on their husbands or male relatives for support. Marriages were customarily arranged by parents so as to benefit two families. That means young women had no choice of who they married and men often had little choice. many couples met for the first time on their wedding day. However, men continued to have their freedom and often had extramarital arrangements with other women. See related link for more information.

What were the differences between upper and lower class clothing in Elizabethan era?

The differences between clothing worn by the rich and poor in Elizabethan times would have been quite marked. The rich would have been able to afford silks and brocades, laces, furs and finest weaves, linens, leathers and jewellery. Whereas the poorer classes would have been wearing clothes made from the cheapest materials, rougher weaves, animal hides, coarse woollen items. There wasn't much washing going on, so they would have all been fairly equally unhygienic. The other main difference would be the fact that the upper classes could afford to follow fashion, as can be seen by the many images on the internet of Elizabethan men and women of the court of Queen Elizabeth I.
