Before the Black Death, English medicine was a mix of folk remedies and monastic care. The plague shattered that world, creating a void that a new kind of practitioner rushed to fill: the apothecary. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the pandemic birthed a profession. They follow John le Spicer, a pepperer who began stocking exotic drugs from the East—opium, myrrh, and theriac, the legendary antidote. They trace the founding of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1617, but start with the key moment in 1349 when the Crown first regulated apothecaries separately from grocers. Along the way, they discuss the Ordinance of Physicians and Apothecaries (1423), the shift from monastic infirmaries to urban shops, and how the plague made medicine a trade. The episode also explores the role of women like Margery Hore, who practiced as an apothecary in London. A story of crisis, opportunity, and the birth of modern pharmacy. #BlackDeath #Apothecary #MedievalMedicine #JohnLeSpicer #Theriac #Mithridatium #WorshipfulSocietyOfApothecaries #GuildOfPepperers #OrdinanceOfPhysicians #Plague #MedievalTrade #PharmacyHistory #MargeryHore #LondonHistory #14thCentury #HistoryOfMedicine #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
