The Black Death

LESSON  TUESDAY 8TH MARCH
TASK: Using the resources below but not the videos (you should have notes on these) write up a report on the Black Death, including:
  • Where did it come from?
  • How did it spread (detail the time period and countries effected; if typing this, include a map)?
  • What statistics are available to illustrate the impact of the Black Death (a) across Europe and (b) in England?
  • Scotland wasn't effected at first - how did the plague spread over Hadrian's Wall?
  • What were its symptoms?
  • What were some of the cures people of the time believed in? Comment if you can on what this tells you about medieval society.
  • What impact did the Black Death have on England? Specifically, why did some poor people actually benefit?
A good historian will include at least one specific source, noting where a quote comes from and evaluating whether you think it is reliable or not.
