Disability in the Middle Ages

Disability is poorly documented in the Middle Ages, though disabled people constituted a large factor of Medieval society as component of the peasantry, clergy, as well as nobility. Very little was calculation or recorded approximately a general disabled community at the time, but their existence has been preserved through religious texts as well as some medical journals.

Notable disabled people of medieval Europe

Though disability was reported throughout the Middle Ages, very few cases were documented during the Early as well as High Medieval periods, as few physicians could properly debug many conditions.
