The Black Death (jan 1, 1348 – jan 1, 1350)
Description:
The Black Death did set the stage for more modern medicine and spurred changes in public health and hospital management. People who survived the Black Death era generally suffered a communal crisis of faith (they started having doubts about God and religion). To celebrate being alive, they held gluttonous banquets, drank, wore extravagant clothing and gambled. People abandoned their friends and family. Landlords, desperate for people to work their land, were forced to offer higher wages to farmers. Famine followed.Added to timeline:
