The lives of all medieval Europeans were tied to the fortunes of agriculture. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries a gradually warming climate lengthened the growing season in northern Europe, making it possible to grow more grain even on less arable land. This trend was reversed at the end of the thirteenth century and in the fourteenth century the European mainland became progressively colder. This caused changes in rainfall patterns, shortened the growing seasons and lessened the productivity of cereal agriculture. Europe's vulnerability to climatic change came in 1315 during the great famine in northern Europe.
