Elizabethan Era

In the Elizabethan Era there were many sports going on, one of the most popular is marbles and Quintain. These were some very fun games people would play. Quintain was a game that older people would play for others enjoyment. The quintain originally was nothing more than the trunk of a tree or post set up for the practice of the tyros in chivalry. People could get seriously injured playing Quintain maybe even deadly.
