Depicted as “The Golden Age”

An Elizabethan sport is hawking. This was a kind of sport only for the rich, because the poor could not afford birds of prey, much less a place to keep them. Nobles would train their birds, and sometimes trade them to others. Once, people tried to breed different birds to make a perfect type, but it did not work very well.

Princess Elizabeth was declared fatherless in 1537.
