In 1588 the Spanish Empire had arguably become the most powerful nation in the world. King Philip II of Spain was now filthy rich due to exploration of the New World.

One of the most shocking aspects of life and etiquette in Elizabethan England is hygiene. Can you imagine living in a world without running water or plumbing? Where bathing was rare and toilets were nonexistent? A world without toothbrushes? These are all things that the people who lived during Shakespeare's lifetime had to deal with. Hygiene has come a long way since 1600. In Elizabethan England, hygiene depended on your social class. You got what you could afford. When considering hygiene in…

The show opens with a fast forward to the final episode of the season, similar to season one of How to Get Away with Murder (Robinson, 2015). A station wagon is seen flying down a dirt road and we see the three main characters (who are inside the car) looking behind them in a panic. Without any further context it will cut to the opening credit sequence which are panoramic shots of New Mexico, inspired by the opening scene of chapter 39 of House of Cards (Buchman, 2015). In the pilot episode, the…

invade England. England at that time was protestant and Philip II, who was a devoted Catholic, felt that it was his duty to bring England back to Roman Catholic.
