Introduction

Have you ever heard of the middle ages? It was a very dark time in the world and things like the black death and feudalism.The things in the essay will be about things like the black death, feudalism, and dragons. Feudalism is he why the economy worked in the middle ages the peasants were the lowest while the priest were at the top of it.The black death was the most deadly disease in the world and has killed more than 50 million people and it might even come back.Dragons were a mythical creature people believed in the middle ages they were gigantic and had insanely big wings and jaws.The middle ages were very incredible and dark at the same time. That is what my essay will be about and the things I talked about.

Feudalism

Feudalism is about they built a relationship with lords and vessels between a mutual service. Feudalism mostly strived in Europe and people believe where it started to happen the most war between the 9th and 15th century. It started to happen in most kingdoms during the fall of the roman empire which was 476 ce . feudalism happens when a kingdom starts to change their leader it started when the roman empire fell and couldn't get themselves straight on who would be leader. How feudalism works is basically a lord or noble who held land , a vessel is a person who let the noble have it. The peasants suffered the most b a they had to go through the most to while the kings had been benefited the most . Feudalism ended because of the

development of monarchy and more polite culture. The Feudal system was organized by nobles to vessels to surfs and then peasants.There wa salota lot of differences between the kings and the lowers . The peasants got shot if they did not listen or put them on a guillotine which is very scary .While the lords and the kings got to do anything they wanted to. That's how bad the feudal system works.

The Black Death

The Black Death is one of the most deadly diseases that killed over 45 million people . People say it came from rats and they were the ones who brought the disease. The doctors there had flowers in their mask which looked like a crow but putting flowers in the mask didn't help because they still got the disease. And so many people died that they had to make holes and throw people in there and they'll rot and smell really bad. And people who did have the disease would have big black splotches .( history of the black death… )The term black also referred to glum or dreadful due to the devastating effect this disease had on society. History records the Black Death as having begun in the fourteenth century in southern Russian near the Crimea. From here, the disease spread along Far Eastern routes towards Western Europe to the Middle East.People say that the black death is back in the modern days and it is very dangerous nor has it killed more than 50 million people by far . It is the most dangerous disease in the world. It is even more deadly than smallpox which is very deadly.Each year the black death cases are 200-700 a year. The black death originated in central Asia from rat like dogs called mirts gave the disease to rats because the come in contact with each other.The amount of bodies that died to the black death could go above the clouds that is how many people have died because of it.It is both amazing on hw there's a lot of diseases in the world and it is still the most deadly disease in the world that is incredible.
