Best Answer

The main punishment was:

  • Being Branded with a 'v' (a hot metal v shaped stick that would scorch you) Although these were mainly for 'vagabonds which were people who would pretend they were disabled and would attack and steal money from passers by!

What would happen to you?

  • Begging was actually band under the poor law and if you was ill,disabled or unable to work you would be looked after buy the local parishes(churches).
  • If you were able to work you would be into into a workhouse and earn very little money.
