The Plague In The Middle Ages

The plague as elementary life threat of medieval man what is man, when the death with a such brutal violence, a cross-border obscenity, if death is an Armaggedon pulls people to thousands with them? This is the question that you had to be at that time, because bearing in mind the fact that you understood the doctors as Primus of medicine and disguised them later as useless quack, with long coats and macabre beak masks, who themselves had to rows look death in the eye, enttarnten.

Another popular contender was the Holy Rochus, who was devoted to the healing of the sick, and as Trademark in the femur had a swelling, which could easily be interpreted as plague bump. The Flagellants had a slightly bizarre kind of God to implore mercy. They believed God’s wrath to be able to appease by self-flagellation. Saw the Church however its monopoly position in danger, after all, these were a way to God is found, the Flagellantentum was, although only a relatively brief appearance popular with the population.
