The dark ages

I was a history minor in college and I took a history course on 14th century Europe. It was appalling.
People had NO idea what was happening and confused, angry, sick people did all the worst things that they might do.

October 1347
The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina.
