The 1500s is the Tudor period. School punishments consisted of severe birching (whipping with the birch rod, i.e. a thick heavy bundle of birch twigs tied on the end of a stick). Birching was administered to the bare buttocks, with the pupil kneeling and bent over a school 'flogging block', and could be as many as 50 strokes. As the punishment progressed, the pupil's bottom and upper thighs, including the exposed anoperineal region, would be whipped until the whole area became a mass of raw flesh and ran with blood.

∙ 11y agoIn the 16th century, we are considering the Tudor era. School punishments consisted almost exclusively of birching (flogging with the 'birch rod') applied to the naked buttocks. As it was almost exclusively boys who went to school in Tudor times, it was boys who came in for the most floggings. However, there is some evidence that the punishment was given to girls of the aristocratic classes, e.g. in the case of Lady Jane Grey, who was frequently birched up to the age of 17.
