'Abraham Man and other VAGABONDS??

What was the Abraham Man?

The Abraham Man was a vagabond in the tudor times! He used to walk about dressed in nothing but a white cloth, and he pretended to be mentally ill so people would give him money. He would make stupid animal noises and growl at you and sometimes even try to bite you and then just stand and stare at you for ages.

What would happen if the Abraham Man was caught?

If the Abraham Man was caught then he would be taken to his local beadle and then the beadle would decide what to do with him! If he was caught three time doing the same thing then he would be excuted.

Was the Abraham Man the only vagabond

No! The Abranham Man was only one of many vagabonds in Tudor times. Some other vagabonds were; 1. A ROUGE who would crawl along the streets as if there were no strength in his legs. He is not really disabled or in poverty, he does this so peopel feel sorrow and give him money. 2. BAWDY BASKETS who were women who stole pieces of silk, cloth and lace and sold them on to make money. 3. The UPRIGHT MAN who was the king of the vagrants. He didn't beg but he demanded people and his fellow criminals to give him money. He helps himself to possesions and even women. 4. The DOXY always looked innocent carrying a backpack and knitting as she walked. But if any chickens were near she would feed them with bread attached to a hook and when no one was looking captures it and then hides it inside her cloak. 5. The CLAPPER DUDGEONS would cut themselves and rub salt into their wounds to make them weep. Then they would put cloth on their cuts and rip it off, takeing the skin with it. People would think they were diseased and give them money.

What would happen if they were caught?

If they were caught the same would happen to them as the ABRAHAM MAN, they would be taken to their local beadle and then he would decide what he wanted to do with them! If they were caught three time then they would be excuted.

What were the punishments that the beadle did to the VAGABONDS

1. They would have a large hole bored into their ear. 2. Vagabonds could be wippd back to the parish they came from. 3. The vagabonds could be branded with a "V" so people knew they were vagabonds and not to give them money.
