Discussion

The Crises of the Later Middle Ages (often called the "Fourteenth Century Crisis") was a period of economic, social, military, and human disaster. Based on your readings in this module, answer the following questions.

(1) In your opinion, which episode of this crisis was the most catastrophic -- why do you feel that way?

(2) In your opinion, who was the most fascinating and/or influential person you encountered in the entire chapter -- why do you feel that way?

In your response, you must explain your reasons, citing specific examples (points and arguments, not simply quotes) from the readings.

Please note that you are free to consult sources other than the class textbook.

REMEMBER: When writing your post, you must follow the guidelines that are outlined in the "Rubric" and under "Discussion Forum: How to Do It," both of which are found under the Discussion Forum module
