Health in Medieval BritainHealth in Medieval Britain

This program examines health, medicine, and surgery in Britain between 1250 and 1500, when knowledge and practices were largely based on superstition and untested theories such as the human body’s four humors. It also looks at the various causes wrongly attributed to the Black Death, which killed 1.5 million people. This is an interesting and informative history resource—ideal for GCSE history students.
