THE BLACK DEATH

The Triumph of Death" reflects the social upheaval and terror that followed the plague that devastated medieval Europe. Thought by most to be a scourge of the past, the bacteria of the plague still appears from time to time and has even been researched as a biological weapon by some countries.

The Black Death is thought to have originated in China. It was carried in the fleas that lived on black rats aboard merchant ships which travelled to Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30-60% of Europe’s population The Black Death was the most devastating pandemic in human history Pandemic-(of a disease) affecting persons over a wide geographical area; extensively epidemic Black Death peaked in 1348 in Europe

Key Dates relating to the event: This terrible plague started in Europe in 1328 and lasted until 1351 although there were outbreaks for the next sixty years

Why was the disease called the Black Death? The disease was called the Black Death because one of the symptoms produced a blackening of the skin around the swellings. or buboes. The buboes were red at first, but later turned a dark purple, or black. When a victim's blood was let the blood that exuded was black, thick and vile smelling with a greenish scum mixed in it.

The 1328 outbreak in China caused the population to drop from 125 million to 90 million in just fifty years Nearly one third of the population of died - about 200 million people in Europe 7500 victims of the disease were dying every day The Black Death in England raged from 1348-1350

Why the Black Death was important to the history of England The population drop resulted in a higher value being placed on labour - the Peasants Revolt followed in 1381. Farming changed and the wool industry boomed. People became disillusioned with the church and its power and influence went into decline. Why the Black Death was important to the history of England

What was it called? “Great Pestilence” “Great Plague” Medieval people called the Black death: “Great Pestilence” “Great Plague” “Great Mortality”

Black Death Symptoms Painful swellings (buboes) of the lymph nodes These swellings, or buboes, would appear in the armpits, legs, neck, or groin A bubo was at first a red color. The bubo then turned a dark purple color, or black Other symptoms of the Black Death included: a very high fever delirium the victim begins to vomit muscular pains bleeding in the lungs mental disorientation The plague also produced in the victim an intense desire to sleep, which, if yielded to, quickly proved fatal A victim would die quickly - victims only lived between 2 -4 days after contracting the deadly disease

Black Death Victims in the Middle Ages - Treatments The Black Death victims in the Middle Ages were terrified of the deadly disease. The plague held a massive mortality rate between 30 and 40%. Victims had no idea what had caused the disease. Neither did the physicians in the Middle Ages. Headaches were relieved by rose, lavender, sage and bay. The most that could be done was that various concoctions of herbs might be administered to relieve the symptoms - there was no known cure. Sickness or nausea was treated with wormwood, mint, and balm. Lung problems were treated with liquorice and comfrey. Vinegar was used as a cleansing agent as it was believed that it would kill disease. But bloodletting was commonly thought to be one of the best ways to treat the plague. The blood that exuded was black, thick and vile smelling with a greenish scum mixed in it.

Black Death in England - 1348-1350 The Black Death reached England in 1348 The plague reached England during the summer months between June and August. The Back Death reached London by 1st November 1348. London was a crowded, bustling city with a population of around 70,000.
