In Episode 163 of The Black Death: The Pandemic That Rebuilt Europe, Lucas and Luna explore the surprising history of the plague doctor. Far from the beaked mask we all imagine, the first plague doctors were ordinary physicians who stayed in cities during the epidemic. We trace the evolution from the iconic 17th-century costume—designed by Charles de L'Orme in 1619—back to the 14th-century physicians of Avignon and Montpellier. Discover how the plague doctors' leather robe, waxed coat, and "bec" mask (stuffed with aromatic herbs) were based on miasma theory, not science. We also meet Dr. Johannes Jacobi, who wrote the first plague treatise in 1373, and discuss Guy de Chauliac, a papal physician who survived the Black Death and described its symptoms in detail. Learn why plague doctors were often the last resort and how their role shifted from healer to public health recorder. This episode covers the real history behind the iconic image, from the streets of medieval Europe to the end of the Great Plague of London. #PlagueDoctor #BlackDeath #History #FexingoHistory #MiasmaTheory #CharlesDeLOrme #GuyDeChauliac #JohannesJacobi #Avignon #Montpellier #GreatPlagueOfLondon #MedievalMedicine #PlagueCostume #17thCentury #PandemicHistory #PlagueTreatise #PapalPhysician #HerbalRemedies Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
