What would you do for a broken bone in the middle ages?
Demmileesullivan
In the middle ages a broken bone would be set by a physician and put in a sling. It would be immobilized by being wound tightly with cloth.
Rather than an X-ray, the physician would use feel and would assume the bone was broken by the amount of swelling. They did not have the ability today of distinguishing the various types of problems they do today but they could heal broken bones. Holding sprained ankles still would also heal them.

Is it true that serfs could become free if they ran away and lived in towns for more than one year?
In the Middle Ages when there were serfs they didn't have many cities to escape to. These people could leave the lands they were living on because they weren't owned like a slave, but worked like a slave. A city in the Middle Ages wasn't a particularly good place and were very rough to live around. They could be smelled miles away because of the human and animal waste in the streets and waterways. Cholera was always a problem because of the bacteria in the water and in the 1300's the plague that hit cities hard. A serf was mainly a farmer so he would be living on the streets in a city. There were people who did jobs like the rat catchers, the rag and bone pickers, and the men who collected urine to be used in many ways.

What did medieval butchers do?
The original of the Butcher's signs and symbols are more obvious if the reasons for butchers are known. In the middle ages, small animals were killed and eaten on the same day. There was no refrigeration and spoiled meat was a problem. Larger animals (generally pigs and cows) obviously can not be consumed in a day by a family, so the butcher would take the animal and section it for multiple families, or the whole town. So selling a large animal was a way to convert it into fresh meat over a longer period of time.Butcher's signs generally are of 3 types, knives, pigs and cows.
How did roman slaves address their masters?
The form of address used by a slave depended upon several factors, such as the master's preference, the job/position of the slave, weather there was company present or they were in private. A rural slave, who rarely saw his owner, would use a deferential title such as "dominus" or even "bone vir". A domestic slave, who spent much time with the master would call him by his name. It is said that Julius Caesar's personal slaves called him by his name, Gaius.
