I found a blog with a bunch of the definitions

Cancer, and Wolf.

Made away themselves.

Ah British dancing around the point terms.

Kill'd by several accidents

When the universe is out to get you, but you survive the first accident

"My teeth are killing me" meant something pretty different back then.

So aggravating to not be able to sort by columns

Cancer, and wolf

Planet ?!?

"Killed by several accidents."

lol.

::: spoiler beware!

tf is King's Evil?

1. I would choose wolves over cancer
2. I suspect it means ear infections, but I choose to believe there was a big kettledrum accident that year

Cause: Suddenly.

Over-laid sounds like a good way to go.

You guys are all laughing about 'planet,' but I'll have you know my uncle died of a cerebral hemorrhage when Neptune hit him on the back of the head. And we all thought it was just a glancing blow, but two days later, he dropped dead right in the middle of the supermarket.

You won't laugh so hard when it happens to someone you care about.

Only 7 murders? The population of London was apparently about 400,000 back then so that's less than half the murder rate of present-day New York City (which is considered a relatively safe city). I don't think that can be right...

1632 London: 7 / 400,000 = 17.5 murders per million people

2023 New York: 312 / 8,258,000 = 37.8 murders per million people

Chrisomes : died while under a month old.

Spelling "Lunatic" as "Lunatique" now. Shout out to the poor folks that just died in the street and starved. Surprised it's only 6.

oh, cool - RFKs suggested DSM just dropped!

I saw this list on hidden killers of the Tudor home (even though this list is post-Tudor era). The specifically spoke about the 'teeth' part.

Basically what that mean was that a variety of tooth decay and oral issues pertaining to the teeth. This was an era that first saw a large consumption of sugar (which as you know LOVES to fuck with teeth) by wealthier people and coupled with a nonexistent oral hygiene practice and dentistry. Basically people's teeth would decay and cause gum disease or simply a shitload of pain that even the painful teeth pulling couldn't fully fix.

One thing that you must remember is that prior to widespread sugar availability most people's teeth were remarkably fine throughout life as people's diets didn't contain enough crap that will mess your teeth up. Of course this isn't to say that it was perfect. Braces would have been a good thing to have for many people and a simple toothbrush with half decent toothpaste would have been a very welcomed thing.

“Suddenly” 😂

Planet

wtf were they smoking in London?

That one guy that died of Sciatica 😣

I never thought to combine deaths by cancer and by wolves to save space or because they’re similar enough. I can’t comprehend why they thought it was a good idea either.

King's Evil sounds like they were executed to me, but I have no clue what it could actually mean.

Someone vomitted to death. I'd probably rather the cancer and wolf combo.
