A Little Macabre A Little Macabre DittyDitty“A sickly season,” the

merchant said,“The town I left was filled with dead,and everywhere these queer red fliescrawled upon the corpses’ eyes,eating them away.”

“Fair make you sick,” the merchant said,“They crawled upon the wine and bread.Pale priests with oil and books,bulging eyes and crazy looks,dropping like the flies.”

A Little Macabre A Little Macabre Ditty (2)Ditty (2)“I had to laugh,” the

merchant said,“The doctors purged, and dosed, and bled;“And proved through solemn disputation“The cause lay in some constellation.“Then they began to die.”

“First they sneezed,” the merchant said,“And then they turned the brightest red,Begged for water, then fell back.With bulging eyes and face turned black,they waited for the flies.”

What were the

political,economic,and social

effectsof the Black

Death??

Page 24: Do Now

Merchants died causing trade to significantly decline and in turn raised prices

Workers and employers also die, production declines, prices continue to rise.

This all led to peasant revolts because their wages are no longer sufficient to live off of.

The Jewish population was blamed for the plague and in some cases they were slaughtered because of it.

Church’s power was significantly weakened.
