Dr Christina Lee, Associate Professor of Viking Studies in
the School of English, looks at how disability and disease were viewed by
Christians during the Middle Ages. She uses evidence that comes from
archaeology and from literary texts to reveal a rather surprising picture: the
disabled were cared for by society and there was an assumption that the prayers
of the impaired and weak had a special efficacy. Other videos you may wish to watch include; Why Study Norse Religion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmkenZXufz0
