They would have had many ways of amusing themselves in their spare time, some of them rather cruel to our modern sensibilities. For example, bear baiting, bull baiting, dog fighting, cockerel fighting, hunting with dogs and hawks, jousting, theatre, cards, dice, Board Games like Chess, dancing (Henry VIII and Elizabeth I loved dancing, and both danced well), music (again something Henry VIII and Elizabeth I excelled at).

They entertained themselves with music, drama, reading (for those who could read), and games.
