Black Death Survivors Named in Rare Medieval List
A forgotten scrap of parchment has brought 22 Black Death survivors back into the historical record: named people who fell ill, endured weeks of sickness, and returned to work. The document, found in the records of the Ramsey Abbey manor of Warboys in Huntingdonshire, England, lists peasants excused from labor services during the terrible summer of 1349. As Alex Brown and Grace Owen report in The Conversation, it offers an unusually human view of recovery during Europe’s most infamous pandemic.
A Rare Roll Call of Recovery
The new study, published in Historical Research, was written by A. T. Brown, Grace Owen and Barney Sloane. It examines a document inserted into the accounts of Warboys, held by the Benedictine monks of Ramsey Abbey. Rather than listing the dead, it names tenants too sick to perform their required work on the lord’s lands.
The 22 recorded absences occurred between late April and early August 1349, when plague was moving through England with devastating speed. In a normal summer during the 1340s, only two or three such absences were recorded at Warboys. In 1349, however, the sick leave entries rose roughly tenfold, amounting to 91 weeks of lost labor in just 13 weeks.
