A cooling in climate caused widespread crop failure in Europe in the early fourteenth century.

-----

While the climate had cooled somewhat, the immediate cause of the Great Famine of 1315-1317 was very heavy rains that flooded fields and destroyed crops in much of Europe in all three years. The following years were also very wet, and the recovery did not take place until 1322.

What events made fourteenth century Europe seem so dismal?

Fourteenth-century Europe was marked by a series of catastrophic events that created a dismal atmosphere. The Black Death, which swept through the continent from 1347 to 1351, killed an estimated one-third of the population, leading to widespread fear and social upheaval. Additionally, the Hundred Years' War between England and France resulted in significant destruction and suffering. Famine, due to poor harvests and economic instability, further exacerbated the challenges faced by the populace during this tumultuous period.


How did climate change affect early fourteenth-century Europe?

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.
