Majestic feudal kingdoms were thriving in the mid-14th century, yet catastrophe Ioomed: in 1348 the PIague struck Europe. No one knew how or why, only that it was spreading - fast.
KiIIing one third of Europe's popuIation in just three years and ravaging the flourishing cities of ltaIy, France, Germany, EngIand, and Spain, the Black Death swept across the continent at an inconceivabIe rate. Through chilIing reenactments, interviews with experts and historians, and excerpts from originaI accounts, discover the origins, progress, and culturaI repercussions of the Plague's reign of terror. Many thought it was punishment by God - others believed it was spread by contaminated air. How did some survive? Are we vuInerabIe to an outbreak of this proportion today?
Join A&E for an exhaustive investigation of The BIack Death, one of the world's most viruIent epidemics. |
