Rich people wanted things that couldn’t be found in their own country.
They wanted silks, porcelain, jewels and diamonds from China and the lands known as the East Indies.
They also wanted the spices that the explorers brought back from the ‘Spice Islands’ (the Moluccas) in South-East Asia.

This map shows where the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) are.
Why were spices so important to the people of Tudor England?

During Tudor times, huge amounts of spices were used to preserve and flavour meat which had been dried and salted to stop it rotting.
Sample Slide
www.ks1resources.co.uk
Today, we keep food fresh in fridges and freezers. In Tudor times, meat had to be preserved by rubbing it in salt.
The salt drew out the moisture which was the main cause of meat going rotten. Sa

The salted joints of meat were hung up in the larder until they were needed.
Then they had to be soaked to get rid of the saltiness.
After that, the meat was cooked with spices to improve theflavour. Sa

Spices were also used to makemedicines – nutmeg was believed to cure the plague.
In Tudor times not many people bathed so they used perfumes to mask their smell – spices were used to make perfume.Sample Slide

In Tudor times, some spices were worth more than their weight in gold. This was because it was dangerous and difficult to bring them back to England. Also Tudor ships were small so they could only bring back small amounts.
Of course, only the rich afford the new spices.

Unit 19:What were the effects of Tudor exploration?Section 2: Why did the Tudors explore outside Europe?
Objectives:Children should learn:
•to locate the Tudor period in relation to other periods of British history
•reasons for Tudor exploration
Activities:Use a time line to establish the chronological periods between the present and the Tudor period. Discuss with the children why
people explore the world and space today. List the reasons why people explore the world today on a flip chart or white board.
Establish with the children that the Tudors were looking for new countries in which to trade wool and other goods and to bring back expensive items, eg spices and furs to sell at home. People were also looking for a place where they could practise their
religion in freedom. Explain that the Tudors were looking for new lands in which to settle. List the reasons why the Tudors
explored the world in a different colour on the flip chart or white board.
Ask the children to write paragraphs in the chosen colours to show reasons for exploration in Tudor times and today. Using a
Venn diagram, discuss the reasons that are the same and the ones that are different.
Outcomes:Children:•locate the Tudor period correctly on a time line
•record reasons for Tudor exploration
•identify similarities and differences between exploration in the Tudor period and the present
Notes:This activity places the unit in a chronological framework and builds on children's knowledge of exploration today. There are a number of overlapping reasons for exploration in the present and in Tudor times, eg looking for resources,
personal reasons, the future over-population of the planet. The Venn diagram draws attention to this and links to
Mathematics Ma4, Handling data. The use of two colours in writing will help in constructing discrete paragraphs.
