"TEMPLE OF SOLOMON"
When you visit the Palace of Versailles in Paris, it is observed that the sumptuous palace has no bathrooms. In the Middle Ages, there were toothpaste or toothbrushes, perfumes, deodorants, much less toilet paper. Human excrescences were evicted from the windows of the palace. On the feast day, the palace kitchen could prepare feast for 1,500 people without the minimum hygiene.
medieval fortresses in Britain
Posted 03/09/2009
One of the largest medieval fortresses in Britain certainly Wales. The immense size of this castle covering (1.2 hectares), makes it the largest in Britain after Windsor. Begun in 1268 by the Anglo-Norman marcher lord, Gilbert de Clare. Concentrically planned, the rings of stone and water defences are formidable.
The Castle is famous for its 'leaning tower', standing at 15 metres high and leaning 10 degrees out of true vertical, after being blowen up in the Civil War. The impressive Great Hall is now used for various functions and weddings.
The Black Death
Was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people and peaking in Europe in the years 1348–50 CE. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe published in 2010 and 2011 indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, probably causing several forms of plague.
The Black Death is thought to have originated in the arid plains of central Asia, where it then travelled along the Silk Road, reaching the Crimea by 1346. From there, it was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships. Spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, the Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population. All in all, the plague reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century.
The aftermath of the plague created a series of religious, social, and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague reoccurred occasionally in Europe until the 19th century.
Jews were burned alive.
Flagellants: mystical religious movement that arose in response to the Plague.
