Boring History For Sleep | Why it Sucked to Be a Leper in the Middle Ages
Tonight, we're going to step very quietly into one of the deepest shadows of the medieval world. We'll explore the story of leprosy, a disease that became something far more than a physical ailment. It was a mark, a judgment, and a one-way ticket to a life on the absolute margins of society. We'll look past the fear and the folklore to find the very human story of how our ancestors confronted a terror they couldn't understand, using the only tools they had: faith, ritual, and stone walls. So settle in as we explore the chilling ceremonies, the isolated communities, and the incredible resilience of those who were forced to live as ghosts in their own time. -------------------------------------------- M O S T W A T C H E D V I D E O : 👉 Boring History For Sleep | How The MONGOL HORDE Survived The Endless Steppe and more • Boring History For Sleep | How The MONGOL ... -------------------------------------------- V I D E O S T O W A T C H N E X T : 👉 Boring History For Sleep | How the Lost Colony of Roanoke Vanished Without a Trace • Boring History For Sleep | How the Lost Co... 👉 Boring History For Sleep | What PARTIES and FESTIVALS Were Like in Medieval Times and more • Boring History For Sleep | What PARTIES an... 👉 Boring History For Sleep | Silk and Steel: Your Life as a Female Samurai (Onna-musha) • Boring History For Sleep | Silk and Steel:... -------------------------------------------- C H A P T E R S: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:12 Chapter 1: The Mark of Cain: Defining Disease in the Medieval Mind 00:22:20 Chapter 2: The Living Funeral: Ritual, Expulsion, and Social Death 00:33:38 Chapter 3: The Lazar House: A World Apart 00:50:04 Chapter 4: The Economics of Affliction: Survival on the Margins 01:03:57 Chapter 5: The Great Conspiracy: When Fear Becomes Persecution 01:20:47 Chapter 6: The Inner World: Faith, Suffering, and the Leper's Identity 01:38:38 Chapter 7: The Long Decline: The Fading of a Plague and Its Enduring Shadow -------------------------------------------- #MedievalHistory #Leprosy #SocialHistory
