They were called blue bloods. There are 3 or more theories as to why they were called blue bloods. One is similar to what you write, that is that they drunk juice from silver goblets, and the citric acid reacted with the silver creating silver citrate, which can cause argyria. A second theory is that inbreeding caused hemophilia as well as a bluish cast. The third theory I have read is that they had alien blood in them, which supposedly was copper based, instead of iron based, making them blue instead of pink. As far as them surviving the plague, there could be several causes. They lived in areas where there were few if any rats, thus no rat fleas to spread it to them. Or they had sufficient silver citrate or deposited silver in their system to keep them from getting it. Or they were genetically indisposed to getting it either through inbreeding, or alien genes.
