#blackdeath #plaguehistory #medieval In this fascinating episode,
Hendrik and Carmen dive deep into the history of the most
devastating pandemic of all time. The Black Death, which ravaged
Europe between 1347 and 1351, claimed the lives of about a third
of the population and changed the medieval world forever. You'll
learn how the bacterium Yersinia pestis traveled from Central
Asia to Europe along the Silk Road, what dramatic effects the
three forms of plague had, and why medieval medicine was
completely helpless. From the first quarantine measures in
Italian port cities to the social upheavals that shook the feudal
system – this episode illuminates all aspects of the greatest
catastrophe of the Middle Ages. Especially fascinating: Why the
famous beaked masks of plague doctors are a myth, and which
control strategies actually worked without anyone knowing the
true causes. Enjoy listening, and see you next time!
