Why did Black Death
spread so quickly
through Scotland and
England?
- Lack of Medical Knowledge
- Priests died giving last rights
Anmerkungen:
- The disease was spread by being in contact with people with the disease. It was the role of the priest to give a dying person their last rights to ensure they go to Heaven.
- Bristol men weren't aloud in Glostishire
Anmerkungen:
- This shows there was some knowledge that being in contact with people who are ill meant you might end up catching it
- Good nursing would have helped to
treat the plauge
Anmerkungen:
- In India in 1897 there was a break out and the British had patents nursed in isolation. 20% of victims died rather then 90-100%
- War
- 100 year war
