Black women most likely to die in medieval London plague
Black women of African descent were more likely to die of the medieval plague in London, academics at The Museum of London have found.
The study is The First archaeological exploration showing how racism influenced a person's risk of death during what was known as The Great Pestilence or Great Mortality.
The research is based on 145 individuals from three cemeteries.
The outbreak is believed to have claimed the lives of 35,000 Londoners.
Bodies from East Smithfield emergency plague cemetery, St Mary Graces and St Mary Spital formed the basis of the study.
The likelihood of dying from The Great Pestilence was highest amongst those who already faced significant hardship, including exposure to famines that hit England during This Time .
What was the medieval plague?Often referred to today as the Black Death , the outbreak of 1348-1350 was a deadly Infectious Disease that swept across Asia and Europe, killing millions of people.
Modern scientific research has identified this as a plague pandemic but in the mid-1300s people had no idea what the disease was or How To stop it.
It arrived in London in the autumn of 1348 and lasted until The Spring of 1350.
More Than half the population of London died. Emergency cemeteries had to be Set Up to bury them.
The disease was carried by rats who had infected fleas, and also transmitted by droplet infection, such as people coughing on each other.
Symptoms included fever, fatigue, vomiting and buboes (large swellings).
The research concluded that higher death rates amongst people of colour and those of Black African descent was a result of the " devastating effects" of " premodern structural racism" in the medieval world.
Social and religious divisions based on origin, skin colour and appearance were present in both medieval England and Europe.
Dr Rebecca Redfern from The Museum of London, said: " We have no primary written sources from people of colour and those of Black African descent during The Great Pestilence of the 14Th Century , so archaeological research is essential to understanding more about their lives and experiences.
" As with the recent Covid-19 pandemic, social and economic environment played a significant role in people's health and this is most likely why we find more people of colour and those of Black African descent in plague burials. "
