According to http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/poors.htm

[i]In 1566, London beggar Nicholas Jennings is caught with a bag of blood that he uses to paint fake injuries on his head. In a day, he makes 13s 2d – two weeks' workman's wages[i]

Seems this labourer is even worse off than a intinerant begger in 16th c Tudor England
