Beggars are so poor because they want money.
Sometimes they just want people to give them more money.
They had money but they just want alot more then they have.
Being poor and being unable to hold a regular job due to all sorts of problems: mental, emotional, physical, educational, medical and so on. Occasionally, successful beggars are just self-employed, doing what they do.
Yes they were beggars in the tudor times that would force people to give them money and in the process of doing so would maybe even kidnap the wives and children of these people
water would be infected, so mainly ale
During the revolution they were called commoners. Among them, there were also some sans-culottes (beggars and homeless people).
They weren't so much "beggars" but they were the poorest of the poor. There were bone pickers who picked through the bones to get them so they could sell them. There was the rag pickers who picked through clothing. Clothing was reused over and over and sold to others. It was hard to get and hard to make so any cloth was valuable. There were the rat catchers who caught the sewer rats with the special smelling oil on their hands. Yes, they caught them bare handed in the sewers. There were the people along the coast who went down the side of cliffs to get the bird eggs for the rich. Then, there were the men who made charcoal. They would pile wood in a pyramid type of pile pack dirt around it and set it on fire. They would have to sit up several days with this to make sure the fire stayed lit and didn't burn too hot. Finally, there were people who made pins. Since there was no zippers clothing was held together with straight pins. Whole families would sit in cold rooms making pins as a living. They were cut from wire, pounded to make them straight ,then a head was added. They only got a few pennies for a day's work. The churches of the time were suppose to act as helpers for the poor and the lost. Some did and some didn't. If you owed money you ended in debtor's prison and may never come out.

Codes can only be used once and beggars aren't appreciated :)
If you notice the achievement is called enemy of the poor. So this means throw the beggars not the drunks that push you. Since there is no counting system, go to the poor district of a city and wait for beggars to come up to you then press and hold RT and then B and a direction. repeat this process for the achievement
Hobophobia is by definition, "The fear of bums or beggars." Essentially, people with hobophobia are afraid of poor people.
In Tudor England, the prevalence of beggars was largely due to economic hardship, including widespread poverty, unemployment, and population growth following the Black Death. The dissolution of monasteries and the decline of feudalism reduced traditional forms of support for the poor. Additionally, changes in agricultural practices and the enclosure movement displaced many rural workers, exacerbating the need for alms. The social attitudes of the time often stigmatized the poor, leading to a visible population of beggars in urban areas.
Elizabeth wasn't very nice about beggars so she sent them away to save money and food. Posted by Shannon Louise Fazackerley- age 13
It is a riddle, with the answer being money.
In the 16th century, beggars could be categorized into several types based on their circumstances and reasons for begging. These included the "impotent poor," such as the elderly and disabled, who were often viewed with pity; the "idle poor," who were considered able-bodied but unwilling to work; and "professional beggars," who manipulated public sympathy for financial gain. Additionally, there were seasonal beggars who sought alms during times of famine or hardship. This period saw a growing concern about vagrancy, leading to the establishment of poor laws and institutions to manage and regulate begging.
Cant means chant or ask. Olde English . Chaucer. Like that .They used to have a repetitive thing going, like, alms for the poor, alms for the poor .
The enclosure movement created thousands of poor, unemployed beggars who wandered to different towns looking for work. These people believed leaving England for a chance at a better life in America was appealing.
In Tudor times, beggars were often viewed with disdain and were subject to harsh treatment. The government implemented laws to regulate begging, and those caught begging without a license could face severe punishments, including whipping, imprisonment, or even execution in extreme cases. The Poor Law of 1601 aimed to provide support for the needy but also led to increased control and surveillance of the poor, further stigmatizing beggars. Overall, the treatment of beggars reflected the era's social attitudes towards poverty and welfare.
The beggars asked for some loose change.This just beggars belief.Oh you little beggars, leave me alone!("Beggars" in British slang is sometimes used to describe naughty children).
