What am I?
My tongue has turned brown and my breath has started to stink!
I am feeling a bit dizzy and weak!
Small boils are starting to appear under my arms and between my legs!
Small black blotches have spread all over my body!
The boils under my arms have grown to the size of apples!
I am starting to vomit and cough
up blood!
I am sweating
and getting a
fever!
I am dying!

Some people said it was a punishment from God
Others blamed a French sailor who arrived in England
If you touched the dead or the sick you would catch the plague
Jews were believed to have caused the plague by poisoning the wells
Plague was from the Heavens and fell down as rain onto those who had sinned
The main cause was the position of the planets, if they were close together, terrible things were to come

CuresWear a
magpie’s beak around your
neck
Cut a hole into your skull to let out evil spirits
Hold sweet herbs to your
mouth to drive away the bad
air
Sit in a sewer and the bad
smells will leave no room for black death
Swallow the powder of
crushed emeralds
Drink a glass of your own wee
twice a day
Open your veins and let a pint of blood pour out
Kill all the cats and dogs in
town
Shave a chickens bottom
and strap it to your sores
March around town whipping
yourself and ask for God’s forgiveness
Run away to another town or countryside
Clean up the streets of filth
and rubbish and burn clothes of
victims
Slice the buboes open and squeeze
out the poison the seal the wound with
poo
Wash yourself with vinegar
and rose water
Eat bread, fruit and vegetables but no meat or
fish
