The Late Middle Ages was a period which lasted from about 1300-1500 (14th – 15th century), the time between the end of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. The late Middle Ages is reflected mainly in Europe. They were often called as the Dark Ages, even though even they were not all bad. Late Middle Ages brought the first crisis of European feudal society. The late Middle Ages had been a time of climate change, famine, war and poverty, In terms of the cooler climate, although the further development of colonization and long-distance trade, but in many areas population got down and performance of the local economy declined.

The Late Middle Ages in Europe Around (1300-1400) B.C, a lady name Yersinia who was a foremost actor played a vital role surviving in ground-squirrel populations around the globe and was the cause of spreading plague due to her idea of killing the less convivial hosts. “The Plague did not kill off the Middle Ages, but Yersinia played a critical role in shaping its final act” (Dutton, Marchand, Harkness 299).

The Bubonic Plague struck Europe during the Late Middle Ages. The Plague left Europe in mass destruction, eliminating nearly half of the population. The Bubonic Plague received the name of The Black Death. This was an extremely suitable name for a disease as cynical and destructive. A long shadow was cast over the Middle Ages.

It first came from the East to Italy by trading routes through sea, which eventually spread the disease throughout Europe. With the plague now spread throughout many places in the West, the Black Death was uniformly experienced in the West. One example was that when the people knew…

In relation to what Brian S stated, I agree that the term “Calamitous”, used by Barbara Tucker to describe The Late Middle Ages, completely describes the events that took place due to a domino effect that occurred. During the beginning of the 13th century, warmer climate allowed the economy in Europe to thrive. But, the climate altered to colder, wetter weather. This “Little Ice Age” caused a huge decrease in food production as storms destroyed crops on which animals and people in Europe…

The renaissance took place during 1350 and ended around 1450 or from the 14 to the 16 century. After the renaissance, people thought they had rediscovered the culture of the roman empire, therefore, the renaissance means rebirth. Like the middle ages, there was a hierarchy system which stated that royalty is on top, Nobles, Merchants, Workers and Tradesmen, and Peasants and Unskilled workers follow. Many people including children, men, and women had a very influential role in the acceleration of…

where justice could be served. However, many of the laws within this Code pertained to the master of the household. Slaves, or “prisoners of war” (Collins, 2009, “Slavery and Babylon”), were only mentioned when they were disobedient toward their master. In particular, King (2008) states one of the laws as “if a slave says to his master: ‘You are not my master,’ if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear” (“The Code of Hammurabi”, Code of Laws section, law 282). This clarifies that…
