Description: Lectures on the famine of 1315-1317 and the Black Death, by Lynn Harry Nelson, The University of Kansas.
The Great Famine and the Black Death | 1315-1317, 1346-1351 | Lectures in Medieval History | Dr. Lynn H. Nelson, Emeritus Professor, Medieval History, KU and the Black Death (1346-1351) The 14th century was an era of catastrophes. Some of them man-made, such as the Hundred Years' War, the Avignon Papacy, and the Great Schism. These were caused by human beings, and we shall consider them a bit later. There were two more or less natural disasters either of which one would think would have been sufficient to throw medieval Europe into a real "Dark Ages": the Great Famine and the Black Death. Each caused millions of deaths, and each in its way demonstrated in dramatic fashion the existence of new vulnerabilities in Western European society. Together they subjected the population of medieval Europe to tremendous strains, leading many people to challenge old institutions and doubt traditional values, and, by so doing, these calamities altered the path of European development in many areas.
