Black Plague Video
Affects on Society: -people abandon the town (self exile) -non-sick people lived in homes by themselves -people try to protect themselves by putting flowers up to their noses, because they believe that if they couldn't smell anything but the flower they wouldn't be affeted by the disease Affect on Religion: -people began to question the church, and believe that god may have sent this disease upon them -people begin to believe that prayer isn't enough Affect on Economy: -coined money returns Affect on Politics: -increase the king's power, because power is being taken away from the church and nobles; and the trade & travel also increases the power of the king because he has to sign charters for the different towns
More Reactions of People: -some people sought refuge in their religion when the plague reached them -some accused Jewish of poisoning water -took pilgrimages to try to stay away from the disease -some shun the sick -some decided there wasn't going to be a cure for the disease
