About this listen

#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! 😍 #plaguedoctor #quarantine #medievalhistory #pandemic #blackdeath #plaguecontrol #medicalhistory Battle-Merchant: https://www.battlemerchant.com/ Battle-Merchant Blog: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/ Blog post for this episode: https://www.battlemerchant.com/en/blog/the-plague-in-the-middle-ages-causes-effects-and-control-measures TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battlemerchant Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battlemerchant Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battlemerchant Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/battlemerchant/
