Scurvy is a disease caused by a deficiency in vitamin C. This vitamin is found in a lot of green vegetables and fruit, but rapidly disappears with storage. The result is that people of the Middle Ages commonly got scurvy in the winter.
Scurvy had a number of symptoms, such as bleeding gums and mucus membranes, spots, depression, and eventually loss of teeth. But it is also generally debilitating and can easily lead to death.

What disease did sailors often get in Tudor times and why?
Sailors in Tudor times often suffered from scurvy due to a lack of vitamin C in their diets during long sea voyages.

This was common on ships as fresh fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C were not readily available for long periods at sea.
