| The Bubonic Plague, more commonly referred to as the "Black Death," ravaged Europe between the years 1347 and 1350. During this short period, 25 million people (one third of Europe's population at the time) were killed. Thousands of people died each week and dead bodies littered the streets. Once a family member had contracted the disease, the entire household was doomed to die. Parents abandoned their children, and parent-less children roamed the streets in search for food. Victims, delirious with pain, often lost their sanity. Life was in total chaos. The Plague was a disaster without a parallel, causing dramatic changes in medieval Europe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Who am I and where did I find my information about the bubonic plague? When I was in grade 11, I researched the topic for a history presentation. I found it so interesting that I decided to post all I learned here. If you'd like to see my sources, check my Bibliography. |
