What 2 dramatic events occurred in Britain the 1330s and 1340s?
In the 1330s, the onset of the Hundred Years' War between England and France marked a significant military conflict that would alter the course of both nations' histories. Additionally, the Black Death began to spread in the late 1340s, leading to a catastrophic decline in the population and profound social and economic changes across Britain. These events significantly shaped medieval society, politics, and the economy.
Who was the king or queen of Britain in the 1330s?
England and Scotland were separate countries in the 14th century, so there was no King or Queen of Britain. The House of Plantagenet ruled England at the time and the King of England in the 1330's was Edward III who ruled from 1327 - 1377.

When did King Tutankhamuns dad die?
King Tutankhamun's father was named Akhenaten (also spelled Akhenaton, Ikhnaton, Echnaton, or Khuenaten), and he is believed to have passed away in either 1336 or 1334 BC. We cannot be fully certain of his date of death, as the record is unclear during this period, but it is believed that his death occured in the 1330s BC.
Was Homer friends with Achilles?
No. As Homer (possibly not even one person) was the author* of The Iliad and Achilles is a character in the poem (or if he was a real person, his character would have probably been sourced from many different people and exaggerated.. The Iliad was written down by Homer in the 8th Century BCE (although Homer's birth date is disputed) and the fall of Troy is told to have been around the dates of 1330s-1130s BCE. *Homer is credited as being the author of the Iliad, when in fact he only wrote it down. He did not make up the story, it had been around for years before Homer.
How did black death come to Britain in 1348?
There was a galley that came from a country with black death. all the sailors had black death when they reached England. the sailors died on the spot. it started to spread in the air and the fleas collected the disease first and started to bit people as well as rats. they sent the galleys back but it was too late. the plague had entered England.
The black death different responses christian and Muslim?
Answer 1Both Christians and Muslims are human irrelevant to their beliefs. They both understood that it is a terrible widespread disease and prayed God to save them.Answer 2I do not know much about the Muslim explanation, and in any case the plague probably affected the Christian world far more because of urban overcrowding, incredibly unsanitary conditions and persistent malnutrition even at times of good harvests.Robert A. Scott (Miracle Cures) says that ordinary people in Europe had been told that the plague was God's revenge for their sins and that to stop the Black Death they needed to confess them fully. Christians owned up out of fear of continuing divine vengeance, but no matter how hard they prayed and how often they confessed, the deaths continued. In the end they lost confidence in the explanations the priests had given them for the plague.Answer 3The primary group of Muslims affected by the Black Death were the Middle Easterners of Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Anatolia. The Arabian and Sahara deserts served as effective buffers for the disease which cannot sustain desert heat and cannot spread well in disconnected rural areas. The Mesopotamians saw it as Divine Punishment for having accepted the Mongol Ilkhanate, since the Abbassid Caliphate capitulated to the Ilkhanate less than a generation before the arrival of the disease. This led to a number of local uprisings and the eventual fracturing of the Ilkhanate in the 1330s. In the Levant and Anatolia, reactions were similar to those in Europe, people sought out spiritual leaders for the answer to why they were afflicted and prayed to God for it to abate. Admittedly, the percentage of Middle Easterners who were affected and died was much smaller than the Europeans because the Middle East was not densely populated and the cities were typically cleaner and drier. This meant that the pandemonium that occurred in Europe, especially the persecution of minorities (like Jews and Roma) for having "caused the disease", did not occur or occurred more rarely than in Europe.Nobody at that time period had even an inkling of an idea about the current scientific explanations for the Black Death.
What REAL cures were there for the Black Death?
so first of all the story of plague is:In the early 1330s an outbreak of deadly bubonic plague occurred in China. The bubonic plague mainly affects rodents, but fleas can transmit the disease to people. Once people are infected, they infect others very rapidly. Plague causes fever and a painful swelling of the lymph glands called buboes, which is how it gets its name. The disease also causes spots on the skin that are red at first and then turn black.Since China was one of the busiest of the world's trading nations, it was only a matter of time before the outbreak of plague in China spread to western Asia and Europe. In October of 1347, several Italian merchant ships returned from a trip to the Black Sea, one of the key links in trade with China. When the ships docked in Sicily, many of those on board were already dying of plague.By the following August, the plague had spread as far north as England, where people called it "The Black Death" because of the black spots it produced on the skin. A terrible killer was loose across Europe, and medieval medicine had nothing to combat it.In winter the disease seemed to disappear, but only because fleas--which were now helping to carry it from person to person--are dormant then. Each spring, the plague attacked again, killing new victims. After five years 25 million people were dead--one-third of Europe's people.Even when the worst was over, smaller outbreaks continued, not just for years, but for centuries. The survivors lived in constant fear of the plague's return, and the disease did not disappear until the 1600s.Medieval society never recovered from the results of the plague. So many people had died that there were serious labor shortages all over Europe. This led workers to demand higher wages, but landlords refused those demands. By the end of the 1300s peasant revolts broke out in England, France, Belgium and Italy.

People throughout Christendom had prayed devoutly for deliverance from the plague. Why hadn't those prayers been answered? A new period of political turmoil and philosophical questioning lay ahead.
How did black plague start?
How did the black death spread?Because Europe was trading with the East, some medieval Europeans were aware of a mysterious disease sweeping through Asia in the 1330s. From Central Asia, the disease moved along an established trade route, passing through Turkestan and the Black Sea Region (Crimea and the Byzantine Empire).In 1347, Kaffa, a town in modern-day Ukraine that was a Genoese trading post, came under attack by a Tartar army. When the Tartars were killed by the plague, the Genoese at first rejoiced: God had answered their prayers and punished their enemy. But that celebration ended when the Tartars began launching the corpses of plague victims over the walls of the city, hoping that the smell of rot would kill everyone in town. The smell didn't kill the Genoese, of course, but the disease did. The panicked Genoese threw the corpses back or submerged them in water. But it was no use; they were already exposed. As the dying Tartars retreated, the Genoese fled by ship to Sicily, taking the deadly disease with them to Europe.Kaffa wasn't the only eastern trading port on the Black Death's path, but Genoa's ships took the blame for bringing the pestilence. Once it hit Europe, the Black Death moved fast, traveling at an average speed of 2.5 miles per day (4 km per day) [source: Duncan, Scott]. From the Mediterranean ports, the disease took two paths; one through France that eventually made its way to England and Ireland, and one through Italy that went to Austria and Germany. The Black Death moved through Europe astonishingly fast. Take a look at some of the stops on its path.Written accounts state that the disease was frightfully contagious, and that death occurred only a few days after symptoms appeared. Other than this, people seemed to have no idea what was happening. Many felt that God's wrath was ravaging the earth and that the end of the world was near. Some theorized that Jews were contaminating the water supply. Both of these ideas spurred extreme responses that we'll explore in the next section.When people began dying in France, King Philip VI turned to the Paris College of Physicians, the most highly-regarded medical authorities of the time, to learn the cause. The physicians produced a report that blamed the mass deaths on an event that occurred at 1 p.m. on March 20, 1345 -- the triple conjunction of the planets Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in Aquarius. The report explained that Jupiter, a wet and hot planet, soaked up evil vapors from Earth. And Mars, a dry planet, ignited the vapors and spread them through the air, which is how Europe got enveloped in a fog of death.many believe that it started in China. Mongol army camps were the first sites.
Where did the bubonic plague first occur?
The Bubonic Plague originated in China. It was spread by the fleas carried by rats going aboard ships and they were transported to Italy, Greece and France, when the rats left the ships entering cities and gave us the Bubonic Plague. The Pneumonic Plague was spread by humans breathing in infected people's germs, this type of Plague was more deadly, but it would have been the same symptoms.
Do the doctors have any idea of what caused the Black Death?
The Black Death was characterized by buboes (swellings in lymph nodes), like the late 18th century Asian bubonic plague. Scientists and historians at the beginning of the 20th century assumed that the Black Death was an outbreak of the same disease, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and spread by fleas with the help of animals like the black rat (Rattus rattus). Once infected by the Yersinia pestis bacterium, it is estimated that victims would die within 60-180 days. However, this view has recently been questioned by some scientists and historians, and some researchers believe that the illness was, in fact, a viral hemorrhagic fever based on epidemiological interpretation of historical records of the spread of disease.Some historians believe the pandemic began in China or Central Asia (one such location is Lake Issyk Kul) in the lungs of the bobac variety of marmot, spreading to fleas, to rats, and eventually to humans. 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. The total number of deaths worldwide is estimated at 75 million people, approximately 25-50 million of which occurred in Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's population. It may have reduced the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400.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 seventeenth 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 in the 19th century.
