Well, I can't remember how much of this file applies to Tudor times nor
how much would be appropriate for 10 year olds, but here is some info:
p-swears-msg      (48K)  9/ 1/99    Period swears, oaths and insults.

                                        euphemisms.

Included in this file is, CREATE YOUR OWN SHAKESPEAREAN INSULTS

by Jerry Maguire which has shown up periodically on various SCA

lists. I have no idea how accurate it is. Nor how much such insults
would have differed in the earlier Tudor times.
