📜 GCSE History: Medieval Medicine & The Black Death (c.1250–c.1500) Explained | Let’s Learn Series

📜 Why did medical thinking remain stagnant for over 300 years during the Middle Ages? Welcome to Episode 1 of our complete GCSE History Masterclass on Medicine in Britain (c.1250–present). In this video, we break down the supernatural and rational explanations of disease in Medieval Britain. We explore the massive authority of the Catholic Church, the dominance of ancient physicians Hippocrates and Galen (The Four Humours & Theory of Opposites), and environmental theories like Miasma. We also evaluate medieval treatments—from bloodletting and herbal remedies to the monastic care offered in hospitals—and examine the catastrophic impact of the Black Death (1348–1349). --- 🔔 Subscribe to MiltonRose Learning for complete, syllabus-aligned GCSE History and English revision masterclasses! #GCSEHistory #MedievalMedicine #BlackDeath #FourHumours #Galen #Hippocrates #MedicineThroughTime #EdexcelHistory #AQAHistory #IGCSEHistory #MiltonRoseLearning #HistoryRevision
