It said he was "13 or 14 ". At 14 he would have been old enough to get married and have his own household, so wouldn't have been considered a child. Even at 13 he would have been old enough to have been sent away to live in another noble's household, which would be like us sending an older teenager off to work, so wouldn't have been counted as a child even then.

There is a comfort to be taken in our modern understanding of the mechanisms of disease, how these are transmitted and how they attack the body. This understanding may be far from complete, but, before the discovery of microbes, ideas as to just how people became sick- and the best means of warding off sickness- seem terribly scattershot, veering from science to religion to the supernatural. It is good to finally have some focus for all these human efforts, as we still have a lot to learn.

I’ve always understood ‘Gonville and Caius’ to be pronounced ‘Gonville and “Keys”, which probably means the doctor was also “Keys”. Sorry, Limeyish is prone to this sort of thing lol (On further checking I’ve found that the doctor’s name was “originally” Keys, and he had latinized it, as was customary. Further confusion arises from the name ‘Caus’, which is Norman in origin). In my youth the College was famous for the William Morris wallpaper said to adorn the Students Common Room

The symptoms and the rapid demise sound a lot like ergotism. Ergot is a fungus which strikes cereal grasses, notably rye; it affects plants in periods of cool wet weather. Consumption of grain infected by ergot will result in poisoning Ergotism victims get chills then a very high fever, followed by delerium gangrene, and death; ergotism is also known as "St Anthony's Fire" or in France "Mal des Ardents". I came across a historical account of Mal des Ardents that struck the French town of Lagny-sur-Marne in 1128; it killed 1/3 of the townspeople. I lived near Lagny-sur-Marne, France 15 years ago for a period of 5 years

Weird History: Mary Tudor (1596-1533), briefly Queen of France, married Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, in 1515 and she was Henry the VIII's sister, not his daughter. He did have a daughter named Mary Tudor (1516-1558), but she married Phillip II of Spain in 1554.

There is an utterly nonsensical explanation in the video. At the beginning, the narrator asserts that children never contracted the sweat whereas towards the end of the video, he adds that Charles died of the disease at the age of either 13 or 14, which is still one's childhood.

Quick correction: Charles Brandon married Henry VIII's SISTER, Mary Tudor. Not his daughter.

The Brandon Brothers had no blood relation to Edward VI or any Tudor Monarchs. Just a lot of girls named Mary (especially before Henry VIII broke from the Catholic Church and the Holy Roman Empire.)
