The Famine of The Famine of 1315-13171315-1317

By 1300 Europeans were farming almost all the land they could cultivate.

A population crisis developed. Climate changes in Europe produced three years

of crop failures between 1315-17 because of excessive rain.

As many as 15% of the peasants in some English villages died.

One consequence ofstarvation & povertywas susceptibility todisease.

Treatment: Lancing a Treatment: Lancing a BulbusBulbus

European doctors were totally unprepared to treat victims who became sick. One popular treatment was to lance or “pop” the sores with a sharp metal stick. However, this actually made things worse because it often made the wound infected and it spread puss and germs to more people.

A Little Gruesome A Little Gruesome RhymeRhyme

“A sickly season,” the merchant said,“The town I left was filled with dead,and everywhere these queer red fliescrawled upon the corpses’ eyes,eating them away.”

“Fair make you sick,” the merchant said,“They crawled upon the wine and bread.Pale priests with oil and books,bulging eyes and crazy looks,dropping like the flies.”

A Little Black Death A Little Black Death PoemPoem

“Ring around the Rosy.

When some one had the plague, the first sign was a red (or rosy) face.

Pocket full of Posies.

Posies were a nice smelling flower used to cover up the awful smell of a plague victim.

Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down!”

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust” is what they said when they were burying a person.
