- The 16th Century was the time of William Shakespeare, King Henry XVIII, Queen Elisabeth the First and the Spanish Armada in England. Spanish conquered the Ancient Mexican empire. Niccolò Machiavelli died. Printing presses were spreading through Europe are reached Stockholm in Sweden. On a bad note the Slave trade between Africa and the Americas started. The 16th Century was also the time when Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation and Henry XVIII introduced Protestantism to England.

- [[Category:th century| *]] [[Category:s| *]] [[Category:th century decades]] The 16th century was a time of significant religious strife in Europe. The Catholic Church sought control of the institutions of government to control the populations of countries such as France and England. Throughout the century, the fortunes of the average Protestant and Catholic varied, depending upon which religion had the ear of the government of the day. (TV: The Massacre; AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) It was a century that drew the particular interest to the Doctor. Not only was he keenly interested in what was happening in France during this period, (TV: The Massacre) he was particularly fascinated by reign of the House of Tudor, which was regnant in England throughout the century. He made several trips to the various Tudor courts. He was known to have met with Henry VIII, (TV: "Strangers in Space", The Power of Three) Lady Jane Grey (PROSE: The Nine-Day Queen) and Mary I, (AUDIO: The Marian Conspiracy) but he was particularly interested in the last of the Tudor monarchs, Elizabeth I, and returned to her court several times during her reign, both in this century and the next. At some point around 1562, he even married and had sex with that so-called "virgin queen". (TV: The Shakespeare Code, The End of Time, The Beast Below, The Day of the Doctor) He also had several encounters with John Dee, one of Elizabeth's closest advisers. (PROSE: Mortlake; PROSE: Managra) Also during the Tudor reign, Hexagoran scouts visited London, and centuries later would recreate it on Luparis as Lupara. (AUDIO: Hexagora) The Doctor also met with some of the century's keenest minds. He befriended Leonardo da Vinci during either the first decade of this century, or the last decade of the previous one. (TV: The Masque of Mandragora, City of Death) He was also intensely interested in the life and career of William Shakespeare, whom he ran into at several points, both at the end of this century and the beginning of the next. (TV: The Shakespeare Code, AUDIO: The Kingmaker) It was in this century that the Order of Saint Peter was founded in Eastern Europe. (AUDIO: Minuet in Hell) As with most centuries of the first two millennia, the 16th century was home to Jack Harkness, Amy Pond and an Auton duplicate of Rory Williams. A version of Jack from around the time of the deaths of Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper existed in this century, having been buried alive in the 1st century by his brother, Gray. He perpetually died and resurrected an unknown number of times in an earthen tomb underneath Cardiff. (TV: Exit Wounds) Meanwhile, a near-dead Amy Pond was kept alive inside the Pandorica, beginning in the 2nd century. An Auton version of Rory kept vigil near her the entire time. They both awaited a moment in the mid-1990s when a young Amelia Pond would touch the outside of the Pandorica and restore Amy to full health. (TV: The Big Bang) It was substantially unclear whether the events of the subsequent Big Bang Two erased Amy and Rory's presence in the 16th century. This ambiguity was caused, in part, because the non-Auton, married Rory Williams claimed to have remembered being "made of plastic" at his wedding reception, suggesting that, at least inasmuch as he was concerned, he and Amy were present in the 16th century. (TV: The Big Bang) Amy seemed to also remember those events, and displayed a fondness for the Auton Rory both during her honeymoon (TV: A Christmas Carol) and during a kind of lullaby to her newborn child Melody Pond. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War) It was also among the centuries endured by Ashildr, (TV: The Woman Who Lived) a 9th century Viking girl who was rendered effectively immortal when she was brought back to life by the Twelfth Doctor through a self-repairing Mire repair kit.

In return, he instructs the Pot to render up its victims, who are duly burped out of its depths, slightly mangled. This happened because of the persecution of witches and wizards all over Europe in the early fifteenth century.

* Muggle-born Scottish wizard Tertius chased from his home by his magic-fearing brothers and accidentally falls into the sea. Washing up on the island of Hermetray, he is taken in by hermit potioneer Zygmunt Budge. Wary of outsiders and wishing to protect his secrets, Budge sends Tertius away with a few coins, a new boat and cloak, and a sample of his recently perfected Felix Felicis, only telling Tertius the latter was a "farewell drink". Over the next twelve hours, Tertius is blown off course, but fortunately lands near the only wizarding family for fifty miles, who take him to Diagon Alley where Tertius finds a bag of abandoned gold to purchase a new wand and robes, and also secures a job as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts.
