So how does the iris show up in folklore?

2024-05-2519 minFabulous Folklore with IcyWhat was the Dancing Plague of 1518 in Strasbourg?When it comes to plague outbreaks in Europe, your mind probably doesn't immediately jump to a so-called dancing plague.

Hundreds died of exhaustion, with contemporary commentators blaming the wrath of St Vitus. More recently, people have suspected ergot poisoning, religious fervour, or mass psychogenic illness.
So what exactly happened, and how does it relate to folklore? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
