{{Orphan|date=June 2018}}Margaret Kennix (?-1585)[1] was a Dutch empiric that practiced medicine in London.[2]

Personal details

Margaret Kennix was an unlicensed medical practitioner during the Elizabethan Era in London.[3][4] She had her own medical practice from the years 1571-1585.[1] Margaret was not native to London, and she was known as a Dutch empiric that practiced medicine.[2] It is believed that she lived on the street Old Seacole Lane in London.[1]

Career and difficulties

Margaret Kennix dealt with issues regarding her authority to practice medicine in London. She particularly dealt with the Royal College of Physicians that had a strong presence in the city of London.[2] The Royal College of Physicians was one of the main governing bodies of medicine.[2] King Henry VII established it as a Royal Charter in 1918.[2][5] The college attempted to put a complete stop to Margaret's medical practice.[2]

Margaret Kennix turned to the royal family for help after the College had consistently attempted to shut down her practice entirely.[2] Margaret knew that having someone in the royal family vouching for her was very beneficial.[2] Queen Elizabeth I informed the College in 1581 of her support for Margaret Kennix.[2][3] Sir Francis Walsingham informed the College of Queen Elizabeth's support for Margaret, and he listed two separate reasons as to why she should be allowed to practice medicine.[2] The first reason was, "God has given her a special knowledge to the benefit of the poorer sort".[2][3] He also informed the college that her family, "wholly depend on the exercise of her skill".[2][3] This was due to Margaret's husband not being able to work.[2][3] The College responded to this act of support with a resounding and stout answer.[3] The writer for the College said that Margaret Kennix was an, "outlandish, ignorant, sorry woman".[3][4] The College also suggested that allowing Margaret Kennix to practice medicine would set a harmful standard and would be breaking the "Holsome Lawes" that prevent medical practices foreign to the College.[3] The College believed her "weakness and insufficiency" were enough to warrant such a response.[2] The final decision of the College is unknown.[3]
