Life in the middle ages

For social studies we have been working on black death. Witch I think is a bit of a quinncidence that when this covid-19 outbreak struck we were and still are learning about a pandemic, Also know as the black plague a deadly bacteria. Near the end of term 1 I was ready to blog my timeline l labelled as Where the black death fits in history. 

During that time the people thought it was the cats that had caused this deadly outbreak, so they gathered up all the cats . But little did they know they caught the wrong thing it was infected fleas that were on the rats. The rats travelled and so did the bacteria and as the rats died the fleas would jump to people. 25 million  that is how many people died 

What is the difference between a pandemic and a epidemic, A pandemic is a worldwide out break like covid-19. As it happens some pandemics can take longer to spread then other and some can be faster. A epidemic is a illness or a disease that sickens a majority of people in a area, community or region 

 Key words:
Clergy: A person to take charge of religious duties 

Lord: A man of noble high office known as a nobleman.
Peasants: A poor farmer who owns little or nothing

Village: An area where peasants live

here is my medieval society pyramid

To me a medieval society pyramid looks a bit like a food chain but instead of going up in what will eat what. If a shark was hungry and a fish is swimming by the shark would come along a eat it. Not saying a human will eat a human but the way it is going up it goes from poorest to richest

I see poor people asking for help and others turning away I see sadness.

what I think life in the middle ages were like 

they were though and the days dragged longer. peasants, serfs and farmers spent most of there time hoping for better and working for the lords who worked for the king. The nights spent there time on the horses as a part of the kings army. lords saw peasants, serfs and farmers as slaves. everyone looked out for themselves.

Most people though the middle ages lived out in the country while they worked as farmers. There was usually a local lord witch lived in big house (AKA a manor or castle). The local peasants would work the land for the lord. "Villeins" is what the peasants called the lords
