What do you predict will happen to medieval society after it has broken down?

Famine and Warfare

Do you think that there is a link between both famine and warfare?

Famine and Warfare

* In 1315 - 1317 there was massive flooding. Crops were ruined, cattle died of disease, many people starved.

* The Hundred Years War began in 1337 between France and England.

* It started when Edward III of England claimed the right to be king of France.

* The French finally won the war in 1453

Famine and Warfare

* One of the heroes to come out of the Hundred Years War was Joan of Arc.

* She was a peasant girl who was inspired by God to lead the French army.

* Just before the end of the war, she was captured by the English and burned at the stake.

The Black Death

Have you ever heard of the Black Death or Bubonic Plague? How do disease effect human society?

The Black Death

* The Bubonic Plague (Black Death) was a disease that cause bleeding under the skin which left black spots.

* The victim would get a high fever and die within a few days.

* Modern science has revealed it was passed along by fleas living on the backs of rats.

The Spread of the Disease

By looking at this map can you predict how far the disease spread?

The Spread of the Disease

* The disease started in Central Asia.

* European merchants became infected and brought it back on merchant ships.

* It made its way toward southern Europe through the Black Sea.

* As many as one third of all Europeans - about 25 million people - died. (1347 - 1352).

(California's current population is 37 million. It would have killed nearly everyone in California).

Jews and the Black Death

What would be a reason that some people would blame Jewish people for the bubonic plague?

Jews and the Black Death

* Some Christians claimed that Jews spread the plague by poisoning wells.

* Many Jews in German towns were either exiled or killed.

* In Strasbourg the town council ordered that the 2,000 Jews convert to Christianity or be burned to death.

The Effects of the Black Death

This is a portrait that was painted about the after effects of the bubonic plague. What does this portrait show you?

The Effects of the Black Death

* A short-term effect was the loss of vast numbers of people from every part of society.

* Much of the land became overgrown with brush. Serfs began to demand wages for their work.

* In 1381 English peasants mounted the Peasants' Revolt, killing local lords and burning manors.

* This ends the feudal period in Europe.

Important things to remember:

* The bubonic plague (Black Death) that killed over one-third of Europeans began in the East and was spread by fleas on rats. * The most important effect of the plague was the end of the feudal system and the growth of towns.* The Hundred Years War began when King Edward III of England claimed the right to be king of France.

The Bubonic Plague Video:

After the video be prepared to answer these questions:

1) What was the major cause of the plague?

2) Where had the plague occurred before?

3) What happened to victims within hours of catching the disease?

4) How did the plague move across the continent of Europe?

5) What were the two ways the plague ended?

HOMEWORK:

Read Kings, Nobles and the Magna Carta (pages 417 - 421) and complete the reading guide.

Flip over your worksheet:

Quick Write: Choose three of these questions to answer on the back of your worksheet.

5) What part of the world did the bubonic plague first come from and what was responsible for it?

2) How was the plague an indirect result of Europe’s growth and prosperity?

4) Why were many victims of the plague buried in mass graves?

3) How did the Black Death spread across Europe?

1) If you were a medieval warrior, which weapon would you want to use, the lance or the longbow, and why?

In Class Activity:

The Black Death has hit Mendez. You will be given a card:

1) If the card has a red diamond on it you are okay.

2) If the card has a black square on it someone you know has died of the plague.

3) If there is a picture of a flea and a rat on your card then you have the plague.

Let's see how fast the plague wipes us out.

Homework:

Research - Find an article and printout an article about the bubonic plague.

* See if you can find when the most recent outbreak of the disease was.

You can e-mail me the link to your article.

Using the notes in your journal and the information in your textbook create a Sequence Map.

How did the bubonic plague start, where did it spread to and what finally happened as a result?
