The article that I read discussed Aymer fitz Waryn, the sheriff of Devon, failed to render his account and was fined by the royal government. Aymer had fallen ill and could not travel, so he had to send someone else. Aymer disclosed to the local court on the following issue and discussed that he had sent his “under-sheriff” and other officials, to render the account on his behalf. However; he had suddenly died at Marland before the due date. This article relates to how society functioned while the plaque occurred. People who became sick and contagious with the bubonic plaque, the royal government expected people to pay despite the pandemic and were expected to find other ways to make sure things were paid off.

This text describes what the children had to do in order to stop them from dying. It was written in the 1360's by an unknown author in Britain and it says that they had to honor their parents both spiritually and physically. The author also believes that it is the sins of the children that has brought the plague upon them and that the only way to stop it was for the children to do everything that was told of them and to be completely submissive to their elders. And even once their parents are dead they have to pray over them day and night to continue to please the gods and hope they can forgive them of the sins they had committed. This view supports our evidence in the way that people could not explain the plague, they couldn't please the gods so they began to blame it on anything and everything around them in their world. For these people they thought that the sins of the children had caused this, so they demanded them to be obedient and not to sin anymore in the hopes of the plague going away.

This document details how King Edward III of England bringing the news of the death of his daughter Joan to Alfonso, King of Castille. Joan was intended to marry Pedro the heir to Castille, and son of Alfonso, however, she contracted the Black Death while on her way to Castille and she perished. This document showcases how even the wealthiest and most powerful were not immune to the scourge of the Black Death. Noble children and especially daughters were some of the most precious political “assets” that any country/domain could have, and the plague was still able to reach them, even through all of their protection.
