19. Medieval bloodletting therapy
Under the discussion of Henry VI and the Lancaster nobles, everyone decided to go to Norfolk to hand over Scott, the uncle of Henry VI, another core nobleman in Lancaster, Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset.
Before the Duke of Somerset left, Henry VI called him and explained to him: "Duke of Somerset, you must know that the former leader of Norfolk was close to the York family and Scotland. Now Scott has finally succeeded in inheriting the title, so we must fight for the Norfolk area in any case. If Scott has any other requirements, try to satisfy him."
The Duke of Somerset nodded: "Yes, your majesty, I know what to do!"
"Okay, then I'll ask you for this matter. In addition, this gift is given to my aunt, Mrs. Maria. You must meet Mrs. Maria on this trip." After that, Henry VI took out a small box and handed it to the Duke of Somerset.
According to the plans of Henry VI and the Lancaster nobles, although Scott is currently close to the Lancaster family, he has Scottish bloodlines. Therefore, compared with Scott, his mother, Mrs. Maria Henry, is even more reassuring, because both mother and son have to win over.
The Duke of Somerset agreed one by one, and then quickly drove the Norfolk area with the men behind him.
…………
When the Duke of Somerset's men had just stepped into the Norfolk area, Scott had already received news. At that moment, Scott quickly asked his mother and several sisters to greet him.
Before Mrs. Maria left, Scott pulled her mother to explain repeatedly: "Mother, the Duke of Somerset is relatively powerful in London. When her mother communicates with him, she must leave a good impression on him, so that we, Norfolk, can easily obtain more privileges and benefits from London!"
"Don't worry, my son, mother knows what to do." After that, Mrs. Maria left with her.
After they left, Scott immediately ordered the guard next to him: "How did I do what I told you?"
The guard bowed and replied, "Please rest assured, as you told us, we have invited all the families of the opposition nobles to Norwich, and now they are all living in the tavern."
"Do they all bring ransoms?" Scott asked again.
The guard replied: "Take them all."
"Very good, gather all the nobles in the Saint Shield Cathedral. I want to meet them. After all, I have lived with them in the Norfolk area for so long. I have to see them for the last time!" Scott said with a smile.
"What should their family do?" the guard asked: "Do you want to arrest them too?"
Scott waved his hand and said, "Don't make things difficult for them, let them continue to live in the tavern, serve them with delicious food and drinks, and keep a lot of money."
The guard nodded, and just as he was about to leave, Scott reached out and stopped him again: "By the way, tell the nobles' families that they would pay the ransom before noon today, and then they would meet their own families in the evening."
Anyway, these nobles and their families will soon leave the Norfolk area with the Duke of Somerset, but before leaving, they can kill them as soon as possible. After all, they are all people in the Norfolk area. This kind of fat water cannot be circulated from outsiders, right?
After Scott finished his orders, several guards quickly followed his orders.
About half an hour later, the guards came to report: "Everyone has been concentrated in the church, and now we are waiting for the master to pass by! In addition, the family members have also started to pay the ransom. We can bring all the ransoms back at noon today."
Scott nodded with satisfaction, then rode his horse to Saint Shield Cathedral to send these nobles on a journey.
When Scott arrived at the church, the church was filled with people at this moment. When they saw Scott coming in, everyone shuddered.
After walking slowly onto the platform, clearing his throat, Scott said slowly: "How are you doing recently? I'll come to visit you!"
All the nobles remained silent and just stared at Scott angrily. If there were no army beside them suppressing them, they would have been afraid that they would pounce on them in minutes and swallow Scott alive.
It can be said that their lives have been very bad these days.
Because during the period of detention, Scott not only did not ask someone to deliver food to them, but instead ordered people to strip their gorgeous clothes and let them survive in the dark and damp cell in thin prison clothes.
It is conceivable that under such a harsh situation, how could these spoiled nobles not get sick? Now almost everyone is sitting underneath with their sick bodies.
Therefore, when Scott asked them whether they were doing well, their anger was imagined, but because of their weakness, they could not make any noise, otherwise the church would have been cursing.
"Why are everyone not talking? Oh, I forgot, everyone is sick at this moment, and everyone can't speak!" Scott smiled apologetically, then waved his hand and said, "It's my dereliction of duty to not take good care of everyone's health, so I have to make up for everyone today."
After saying that, Scott smiled and ordered at the guards: "Call the doctors in quickly and treat them all, so that they can recover quickly."
Soon, the church door opened wide, and then a group of doctors came in.
Looking around, these doctors have mixed ingredients.
Some are pig-killing butchers, some are barbers on the streets, and some are nuns in churches... In short, all kinds of people have them.
However, in the Middle Ages in Europe, they all had a particularly resounding name: Doctor.
These doctors’ treatment methods are very simple and crude. To summarize them in one sentence, no matter what kind of disease you have, you will be able to bleed. If your disease has not yet recovered, then continue to bleed.
Therefore, in medieval Europe, you would better hope that you will not get sick yourself, because once you get sick, it would mean you have close contact with the god of death.
However, at this moment, asking these doctors to treat these nobles is a very relieved punishment method.
After the doctors came in, they saluted Scott and then began their treatment.
The butcher doctor, the barber doctor and others were cursing the disease. Without saying a word, he grabbed the noble's arm and stabbed it hard, and then the bright red blood flowed into the jar.
