The Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague, is considered one of the greatest disasters in human history. This pandemic devastated entire continents in the mid-14th century and is estimated to have wiped out between 5% and 40% of the entire global population. How did societies cope with this shockingly aggressive disease? What caused it? What was it like to live through it, and how did things recover afterward?
Mark Bailey is Professor of Late Medieval History at the University of East Anglia in the UK and a specialist in some of the biggest driving forces in Europe in the Middle Ages. He joins us in The Garden to go back to basics on the Black Death and its impact, and explore what lessons we can learn from this tragic period.
