  1. Kil’d by Several accidents………. 46 people

    What utter **Fustilarians**!

  2. Made away themselves was the original unalived

  3. For anyone interested.

    The King’s Evil is actually just tuberculous lymphadenitis (bacterial infection of lymph nodes in your neck).

    And people believed that the king’s touch would magically cure it. So it was an evil that the king could cure (if he wanted to).

  4. I feel for the poor sod who died of piles. That must have been such a pain the arse.

  5. God I remember seeing this in history class back in the 90s. None of us could figure out what “rising of the lights” was but it sounded terrifying.

  6. I want to know what “cancer, and wolf” was. I understand the cancer, not so much the wolf.
    1 person died from sciatica (a bad back), yeesh!

  7. Cancer, and a wolf – 10 people.

    That’s oddly specific.

  8. 11 dead from grief – I wonder if that’s depression/bad mental health, or if they thought people died of a broken heart.

    Also 470 deaths from “teeth” 😱. So bad teeth and medieval dental care really could kill you

  9. Never knew piles could be deadly. I guess maybe from infections caused by poor hygiene practices?

  10. I want more info on the poor bastard whose piles killed them!!
