      This was the time the world was consumed by utter chaos.
  • . Scientists and historians at the beginning of the 20th century assumed that the Black Death was an outbreak of the same diseases, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and spread by fleas which primarily made use of highly mobile small animal populations like that of the black rat (Rattus rattus).

      The plague was a disease with the bacteria called yersia pestis. It spread by fleas and rats. It was dangerous becauce if you are a soldier and you are on a horse, the horse probably has fleas and it could jump on you and bite you. It was a disease that started out with little bumps. It is called the black death because the little bumps soon turned black. A doctor called Guy de Chaulliac was researching this disease. While looking over th patients, he caught it himself. He looked at his research and was able to heal himself. He wrote this book about diseases. I think it was called the book of surgery. It was good enough to help people out for 300 years after that time. It's funny because the people that we need the most are the people that die first. They risk their lives to help us.

  • The Black Death 1was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history , peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis , but this view has recently been challenged. Usually thought to have started in Central Asia , it had reached the Crimea by 1346 and from there, probably carried by fleas residing on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships , it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe

      The plague is thought to have returned every generation with varying virulence and mortality until the 1700s. During this period, more than 100 plague epidemics swept across Europe. On its return in 1603, the plague killed 38,000 Londoners. Other notable 17th-century outbreaks were the Italian Plague of 1629-1631, and the Great Plague of Seville (1647-1652), the Great Plague of London (1665-1666), and the Great Plague of Vienna (1679). There is some controversy over the identity of the disease, but in its virulent form, after the Great Plague of Marseille in 1720-1722, the Great Plague of 1738 (which hit eastern Europe), and the Russian plague of 1770-1772, it seems to have disappeared from Europe during the 19th century.

      The plague disease, generally thought to be caused by Yersinia pestis, is enzootic (commonly present) in populations of ground rodents (most specifically, the bobac variety of marmot) in Central Asia, but it is not entirely clear where the 14th-century pandemic started. The popular theory places the first cases in the steppes of Central Asia, although some speculate that it originated around northern India, and others, such as the historian Michael W. Dols, argue that the historical evidence concerning epidemics in the Mediterranean and specifically the Plague of Justinian point to a probability that the Black Death originated in Africa and spread to Central Asia, where it then became entrenched among the rodent population. Nevertheless, from Central Asia it was carried east and west along the Silk Road, by Mongol armies and traders making use of the opportunities of free passage within the Mongol Empire offered by the Pax Mongolica.

      black death had started in western china with the mongolians. the mongolians had past it on to the others by traveling to other places with this disease. sadly this disease was contagious. it was difficult to know if a person has the black death. it starts out as a bad cold. then it horibly changes. once a black spot on your body is visible, then you only havfe a few days left before you're dead.
  • The Black Death is categorized into three specific types of plague: bubonic plague (infection in the lymph nodes, or [hence] buboes), pneumonic plague (the infection in the lungs), and septicemic plague (the infection in the blood and the most deadly of the three

The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger number of deaths, until it left Europe in the 19th century.

  • In England, in the absence of census figures, historians propose a range of pre-incident population figures from as high as 7 million to as low as 4 million in 1300,[51] and a post-incident population figure as low as 2 million.[52] By the end of 1350 the Black Death had subsided, but it never really died out in England over the next few hundred years: there were further outbreaks in 1361–62, 1369, 1379–83, 1389–93, and throughout the first half of the 15th century.[53] The plague often killed 10% of a community in less than a year—in the worst epidemics, such as at Norwich in 1579 and Newcastle upon Tyne in 1636, as many as 30 or 40%. The most general outbreaks in Tudor and Stuart England, all coinciding with years of plague in Germany and the Low Countries, seem to have begun in 1498, 1535, 1543, 1563, 1589, 1603, 1625, and 1636.[54]

It was reportedly first introduced to Europe at the trading city of Caffa in the Crimea in 1347. After a protracted siege, during which the Mongol army under Jani Beg was suffering the disease, they catapulted the infected corpses over the city walls to infect the inhabitants. The Genoese traders fled, taking the plague by ship into Sicily and the south of Europe, when it spread.[25] Whether or not this hypothesis is accurate, it is clear that several pre-existing conditions such as war, famine, and weather contributed to the severity of the Black Death. In China, the 13th century Mongol conquest disrupted farming and trading, and led to widespread famine. The population dropped from approximately 120 to 60 million.[26] The 14th-century plague is estimated to have killed one third of the population of China.[27]

      You could have caught the black death by the ship rats. Or by the fleas. The fleas were the main souse of the black death. The fleas would mostly bite the animals in the wild. And sometimes they would bite the common household pets. Like the cat. And while people had there cats close to there face and were breathing in the cough of there catthey catch the desaes and sometimes without knowing.

      The bubanic infection or the bubonic plague is also known as the black death. It was spread to almost around the entire world. Or europe. It was a heart recking deasease . And it was like a chain of people dieing. Becasue there would first be a person who has it then family members go to help the one sick. Then they get sick and they spread it to more people. And then those people spread it to more people and then they spread it to more and more peple .

  • Some historians believe the pandemic began in China or Central Asia (one such location is Lake Issyk Kul)[5] in the lungs of the bobac variety of marmot, spreading to fleas, to rats, and eventually to humans.[6] In the late 1320s or 1330s, merchants and soldiers carried it over the caravan routes until in 1346 it reached the Crimea in South Eastern Europe. Other scholars believe the plague was endemic in that area. In either case, from Crimea the plague spread to Western Europe and North Africa during the 1340s.[7][8] The total number of deaths worldwide is estimated at 75 million people,[9] approximately 25–50 million of which occurred in Europe.[10][11] The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population.[12][13][14] It may have reduced the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.[15]

  • The three forms of plague brought an array of signs and symptoms to those infected. The septicemic plague is a form of "blood poisoning," and pneumonic plague is an airborne plague that attacks the lungs before the rest of the body. The classic sign of bubonic plague was the appearance of buboes in the groin, the neck and armpits, which oozed pus and bled. Most victims died within four to seven days after infection.

  • The plague repeatedly returned to haunt Europe and the Mediterranean throughout the 14th to 17th centuries, and although bubonic plague still occurs in isolated cases today, the Great Plague of London in 1665–1666 is generally recognised as one of the last major outbreaks.

      The Bubonic plague was a disease. It was a disease that came from fleas and rats. If you get the disease it starts out as lumps. It is called the black death because in those lumps there is puss. It turns black.The Mongols were the people that gave it to England. It first started in China and made its way around.

      Bubonic plague is the best known manifestation of the bacterial disease plague caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Yeersinia pestis. It belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. The term "bubonic plague" was often used synonymously for plague, but it does n fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics as is often seen in flea-borne infections. Bubonic plague kills about half of infected patients in 3-7 days without treatment and may be the Black death that swep through Europe in the 1340's killing tens of millions.

      The bubonic plague is an infection, usually resulting from the bite of an infected flea. The fleas are often found on rodents, such as rats and mice, and seek out other prey when their rodent hosts die. The bacteria form aggregates in the gut of infected fleas and this results in the flea regurgitating ingested blood, which is now infected, into the bite site of a rodent or human host. Once established, bacteria rapidly spread to the lymph nodes and multiply. pestis bacilli can resist phagocytosis and even reproduce inside phagocytes and kill them. As the disease progresses, the lymph nodes can haemorrhage and become swollen and necrotic. Bubonic plague can progress to lethal septicemic plague in some cases. The plague is also known to spread to the lungs and become the disease known as the pneumonic plague.

      The plague resurfaced in the mid-19th century; like the Black Death, the Third Pandemic began in Central Asia. The disease killed millions in China and India and then spread worldwide. The outbreak continued into the early 20th century. In 1897, Pune in British India, was severely affected by the outbreak. The government responded to the plague with a committee system that used the military to perpetrate repression and tyranny as it tackled the pandemic. Nationalists publicly berated the government. On 22 June 1897, two young brahmins, the Chapekar brothers, shot and killed two British officers, the Committee chairman and his military escort. This act has been considered a landmark event in India's struggle for freedom as well as the worst violence against political authority seen in the world during the third plague pandemic.Plague was used during the Second Sino-Japanese War as a bacteriological weapon by the Imperial Japanese Army. These weapons were provided by Shirō Ishii's units and used in experiments on humans before being used on the field. For example, in 1940, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Service bombed Ningbo with fleas carrying the bubonic plague. During the Khabarovsk War Crime Trials the accused, such as Major General Kiyashi Kawashima, testified that, in 1941, some 40 members of Unit 731 air-dropped plague-contaminated fleas on Changde. These operations caused epidemic plague outbreaks.

      Flagellantism was a 13th century and 14th century radical Christian movement. It began as a militant pilgrimage and was later condemned by the Catholic Church as heretical. The followers were noted for including public flagellation in their rituals.Flagellation was not an uncommon practice amongst the more fervently religious. Various pre-Christian religions, like the cult of Isis in Egypt and the Dionysian cult of Greece, practiced their own forms of flagellation. Women were flogged during the Roman Lupercalia to ensure fertility.At first, flagellation became a form of penance in the Christian church, especially in ascetic monastic orders. For example, the 11th century zealot Dominicus Loricatus once repeated the entire Psalter twenty times in one week, accompanying each psalm with a hundred lash-strokes to his back. The distinction of the Flagellants was to take this self-mortification into the cities and other public spaces as a demonstration of piety. As well as flagellation, the rituals were built around processions, hymns, distinct gestures, uniforms, and discipline. It was also said that when singing a hymn and upon reaching the part about the passion of the Christ, one must drop to the ground, no matter how dirty or painful the area may seem. Also one mustn't move if the ground has something on it that may cause an inconvenience.

      Flagellants were people the whip themselves and hurt themselves. This happened a lot during the Plague. They hurt themselves like that to show God that they are sorry for their sins. They believe if they do that God will forgive him. Woman started grabbing the blood and putting on themselves to show God the same. At that time people were desperate.

      The Flagellants killed Jews right there in the street. It didnt make sense to think they were the blame for the plague because the Jews themselves were dying too. That didnt matter to them though. It was just because the Jews weren't like them and they say that the Jews should have been punished. No one should be judged just because they have different religious belifs then you do . It's not right.

      before america was discovered, flagellants were people with half of a robe on, and carries a weapon. usually it's a wip. they whipped themselves everyday, until they die. they would walk with a group of flagellants and whip themselves. appearence wise they dont look healthy at all. usually part of their body is covered with blood, and another is with dirt. when a dangerous plague first appeared in europe (Black Death) people started dieing. after a while, people's mind broke loose and decided that the weak(flagellant) should be listened to. people started joining them. then the flagellants became powerful, they were able to kick out a priest from a church and pray with others. after a while some people decided to kill all flagellants because they've gone too far.most were tooken out.which was about the time when the plague ended. once the plague ended people stoped obeying the flagellants.

    they would kill Jews one by one on the street. No matter what the polp said they still belived that the Jews were the blame of the plague. They toutred them slowly and horribly. Jews were being killed all over europe and france as well. The christians thought that God was punishing them by letting the Jews live among them . Many innocents Jews were already dying from the plague and then were being killed. It was all so wrong. No one should be judged just because they're different from everyone else. It was pure terror in these dark times.

      When I think of Medical history, the first thing that comes in my head is the Plague. The Plague was a terrifying disease that spread from fleas. You could get it by breathing the same air as the people tha have it. Guy de Chaulliac was a doctor at the time. He studied the patients and made research. He got sick and got the disease while trying. But thanks to his research he survived and cured himself. He even wrote a book for diseases that could help people out for 300 years after.

      If we had the plague we would not do any better than what they did back then. Are progress for that would not be so good. The black death is still out there somewhere. We have airplanes now so now the plague could travel everywhere in 24 hours. We would not even have a chance.
  • If one considers the dimensions of the devastation of the bubonic plague of the 6th Century in the midst of the Dark Ages --- the savage imperial wars waged against the barbarian hordes, the terrible famines, the ubiquity of death and destruction, and finally the unleashing of this cataclysmic epidemic --- it should not be difficult to imagine that the people at the time believed that they were being scorched and ravaged by the dreaded Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as described in the biblical book of Revelation 6:8, "And I looked, and behold, a pale horse; and his name that sat on him was Death."

      Chauliac began his study of medicine in Toulouse before moving on to study in Montpellier. Montpellier was considered one of the centers of medical knowledge at the time. Around 1325, he became a Master of Medicine and Surgery. It is known that he was in Paris between 1315 and 1320. After receiving his degree, he went to Bologna to study anatomy under Nicola Bertuccio. There is some dispute as to whether or not de Chauliac actually performed surgery. Charles H. Talbot writes, "It was seemingly from books that [Chauliac] learned his surgery. [...] He may have used the knife when embalming the bodies of dead popes, but he was careful to avoid it on living patients". Others, including Thevenet, claim that Chauliac moved to Mende and then Lyons to practice medicine after learning the art of surgery from Bertuccio. Chauliac's reputation as a physician grew quickly. He was invited to the Papal Court in Avignon to serve as a personal physician to Pope Clement VI (1342-1352). He also served as physician to Pope Innocent VI (1352-1362), and then to Pope Urbain V (1362-1370).

With that book he cured him self because he got sick from the desease to!That is cool to save your own life by reading your own book.
  • Chauliac's Chirurgia magna, his seminal work on surgery, was complete in 1363 in Avignon. In seven volumes, it covers anatomy, bloodletting, cauterization, drugs, anesthetics, wounds, and fractures, ulcers, special diseases, and antidotes, among other things [4]. His treatments included the use of plasters. Chauliac also believed that pus from an infection was required in the healing process.

      The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is widely thought to have been an outbreak of bubonic plague caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, but this view has recently been challenged. Usually thought to have started in Central Asia, it had reached the Crimea by 1346. From there, probably carried by fleas residing on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, it spread throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger number of deaths, until it left Europe in the 19th century.
  • The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350.

    The Black Death erupted in the Gobi Desert in the late 1320s. No one really knows why. The plague bacillus was alive and active long before that; indeed Europe itself had suffered an epidemic in the 6th century. But the disease had lain relatively dormant in the succeeding centuries. We know that the climate of Earth began to cool in the 14th century, and perhaps this so-called little Ice Age had something to do with it.

      Scribes were writers back then. They had scribes like back to the time of Julius Caesar. They write down the words of famous people, they announce things to other people like that. I personally think being a scribe was a cool job. The person who got Constantine to be christian was a christian scribe. His name was Dia.

      " The Triumph of Death", was a picture made of the Plague. It was made in the years 1562. Pieter Bruegal was the artist. He described the black death in his picture very accurately. It showed skeletons killing people, people dying. That was very detailed because the black death killed people. The skeleton showed once someone died another did as well. That is how easily you can catch the disease.

      This painting was painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1562. He painted this painting a year after the Black Death was over. His drawings on this painting are very detailed.
  • The painting serves a useful historical purpose in that it shows aspects of everyday European life in the mid-sixteenth century. Clothes are clearly depicted, as are pastimes such as playing cards. Uniquely, the painting shows a common method of execution for sixteenth-century criminals: being lashed to a cartwheel mounted on a vertical pole. Objects such as musical instruments and an early mechanical clock, and scenes including a funeral service provide historians with a deeper understanding of the lifestyle of the 1560s.

      The Danse Macabre included skeletons dancing. The skeletons during the plague were a symbol of death. In most of the pictures made to describe the black death had skeletons in them. The " Trimuph of Death", shows skeletons grabbing, abusing and killling people. The deathly horror of the 14th century like the Hundred Years' War and most of all the Black death were culturally digested throughout Europe.

  • Dance of Death, also variously called Danse Macabre (French), Danza Macabra (Italian and Spanish), Dança da Morte (Portuguese), or Totentanz (German), is a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all.

    They were skeletons that represented death during and after the black death. Death was everywhere and people were dying constantly each day. This painting symbols how death was everywhere during this horrbile time.
