Some owned their land outright, some rented, some did some of each. I believe I've got a post on medical peasants to get you started.C.

And were they an uniquely english thing? Or they existed elsewhere in Western Europe?<br />And what about their lands? It was rented? Their own (only submitted to the king)? Or their lands were given to them by the nobles?<br />Thanks in advance!Licorne Negrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482272946045965604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426485731280552659.post-88106181376111338422014-09-23T11:25:52.081-07:002014-09-23T11:25:52.081-07:00Seek and ye shall find!

I particularly need to know, for my new book, how they would treat, or attempt to treat, gangrene caused by frostbite. I imagine they might use leeches first to see if they can suck up the bad blood or even get the circulation going again, assuming they knew that was what was needed. I know they would amputate if all else failed, but I would like to know how much they knew about sterilisation, sealing off blood vessels, etc. Also, how would they be likely to treat pneumonia? I am thinking mint in steam and possibly willow bark? Sorry to be a pain, but I have looked all over the internet for the info and thought you might know. Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978122480310939801noreply@blogger.com
