By 500 BC, the advanced Greek civilization had begun to acknowledge causes of disease other than punishment by God or demonic possession. One of the early outstanding figures in medicine was Hippocrates, born in 460 BC on the Greek island of Kos. Hippocrates is the acknowledged "Father of Medicine." Beginning in the first century, several monastic orders were established to care for the sick. During the Crusades, second century, (1096–1291), female religious orders in northern Europe were nearly eliminated.
