“REALLY?! That’s hilarious! Who knew there were comedians running around as the Plague threatened Europe!”
The plague wouldn’t hit Europe for another 550 years.
“I guess they all had to laugh to keep from crying then, too.”
Maybe you should read a book. If you have a government school education, it would benefit you to study rather than post about things which are apparently unfamiliar to you. Why not read the classic The Murder of Charles the Good. Charles really was, generally speaking, good so his nickname was not ironic. The translator’s name is James Bruce Ross - and James was actually a woman despite her masculine name. On March 2, 1127, while Charles was praying on his knees in church, some knights sent by a rival family murdered him. The murder shocked all of Europe.
Thank you for your advice, but I’m more into God’s Word. Everything else pales in comparison.
Amazing. How misinformation just keeps going. I like reading your words. Thanks.
Not exactly...for "Europe" can include portions of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Though a PDF (thus clumsy to access) this map; http://www.justiniansflea.com/files/Jfleamap4.pdf shows plague to have reached Rome and beyond in the mid to latter portions of the 6th century.
Now there does appear (for lack of much historical note) to have been a pause after about 750 AD or so, before the much more extensively recorded outbreaks of 1348 and onwards, so that may leave you to be about half-right, in that there was apparently something of a pause between the first wave (Justinian's) and second wave of the worst outbreaks, thus there not being outbreak of plague during the time period of Bald's gift of a chair to a Latin Church bishop.
Half right...is still about half wrong, in regards to how the statement "The plague wouldn’t hit Europe for another 550 years. was used in context.
