Dame Péronelle

Dame Péronelle (floruit in 1292–1319), was a French herbalist physician.

Dame Péronelle was active in Paris where she practiced medicine as an herbalist. She was successful, which is confirmed by the fact that she paid a very high tax in 1292. In 1319, she was most probably the same herbalist who traveled from Paris to Artois to be consulted by the countess Mahaut of Artois.[1]
