Plague in Europe (peste na Europa)


The plague that lasted from the 14th to the 17th century led to a high number of deaths in all social classes. It was followed by social consequences, including famine due to lack of manpower.

A peste dos séculos XIV a XVII provocou elevado número de mortos de todas as classes sociais. Seguiram-se sequelas sociais, nomeadamente períodos de fome por falta de mão-de-obra.
