Nestorian graves dating to 1338-39 near lake Issyk Kul in Kyrgyzstan have inscriptions referring to a plague and are thought by many epidemiologists to mark the outbreak of the epidemic.

People abandoned their friends and family, fled cities, and shut themselves off from the world. Funeral rites became perfunctory or stopped altogether, and work ceased being done.The economy underwent abrupt and extreme inflation. Since it was so difficult (and dangerous) to procure goods through trade and to produce them, the prices of both goods produced locally and those imported from afar skyrocketed. The demand for people to work the land was so high that it threatened the manorial holdings. Serfs were no longer tied to one master; if one left the land, another lord would instantly hire them. ]]> 2016-09-11 05:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/122944359 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/122944621 The impact on towns and cities was enormous. Cities that were once over-populated were reduced by the thousands. Many small towns were completely wiped out. Cities close to ports were the most effected becasue ships that carried the plague docked there.]]> 2016-09-11 05:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/122944621 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/122945329 Today, if you contracted the plague, modern medicine would easily cure you.

The term is most often used to describe pits located in Great Britain, but can be applied to any place where Bubonic plague victims were buried. Plague pits were used especially often during major plague outbreaks, such as the London epidemic of 1665. During these times, graveyards rapidly filled, and such graves became available only to wealthy people. Parishes became strained; one example, the records of St Bride's Church on Fleet Street during the London 1665 plague, shows typical methods employed by the parishes. This poem shows the difference of people thrown into a pit.]]> 2016-09-11 06:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/122945749 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123009659 1.]]> 2016-09-12 02:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123009659 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123011489 2.]]> 2016-09-12 03:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123011489 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123011962 3.]]> 2016-09-12 03:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123011962 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123012656 4.]]> 2016-09-12 03:26:14 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123012656 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123013136 5.]]> 2016-09-12 03:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123013136 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123013625 6. ]]> 2016-09-12 03:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123013625 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123050690 2016-09-12 09:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123050690 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123051032 2016-09-12 09:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123051032 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123051245 2016-09-12 09:19:55 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123051245 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123336186 2016-09-13 04:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123336186 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123336270 2016-09-13 04:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123336270 stevenra https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123336343 2016-09-13 04:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stevenra/The_Black_Death/wish/123336343
