Sweating sickness, also known as English sweating sickness or English sweate (Latin: sudor anglicus), was a mysterious and highly contagious disease that struck England, and later continental Europe, in a series of epidemics beginning in 1485.
It first showed itself in London at the end of May, and speedily spread over the whole of England, though not into Scotland or Ireland. Many people in Henry VIII's court fell sick with the sweating sickness and Henry developed a morbid fear of contracting the disease himself. He would change residences every other day in an effort to avoid coming within contact with those of his court who became infected.
