Black Death Talk Eleanor Janega 

I love how college level lectures are available for everyone to learn from on RU-vid ❤ THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

I could listen to this woman all day! I would have loved her at school, she has me hanging on every word lol!

"Anything else, it's just sparkling bubonic plague." 😂 I was hooked at this point.

Loved every minute of this lecture. I have been listening to a lot of her lectures and they are all fascinating! I want to become a medievalist thanks to her. She has greatly inspired me!

Dr.Jageda has an amazing command of her subject and knows how to deliver a fascinating lecture. Thanks.

Watched this because of the speaker. She is really good .

Dropping a line like “Sparkling bubonic plague” is next level lecturing, she is good!

Dr. Eleanor Janega is the best. I love watching videos with her talking about history. She’s very intelligent.

I learned more about these types of documentaries than anything in 12 years of basic schooling.

This was a fabulous and informative lecture. Thank you for uploading it!

I thought that was amazing. I've always known the big picture of the Black Plage, but that was incredible, living details of that major human experience. Thanks!

Wonderful lecture! That Boccacio on self-isolation sounds really familiar. When covid started, we weren't sure if things like donuts and bagels were going to be safe from the bakery, so we made things like exotic doughnut flavors like honey glazed lavender. I performed online. It was one of the busiest times of my life.

Actually there have been fatalities relatively recently. An Apache man, aged 44, died of the bubonic plague in Arizona in 1986.

I'm a big fan.

Dr Janega is fascinating to listen...

Absolutely excellent!

Eleanor is my kind of woman. Smart, self-assured, and shapely. I'd love to meet her in a British Pub!

Janega is my favorite!😁💗👍

Excellent.

Bugger! The questions are very often the best part of a good talk. What's the point of having such a wonderful speaker if you unceremoniously cut them off? Absolute madness! It spoiled the normal flow of such an event! Thank you Dr. Janega. A fascinating talk delivered with aplomb but sadly marred by your host's pretentiousness.

Wow Dr this was fascinating!

The first university in the World was the Serapeum of Alexandria. The second was Nalanda. The _third_ was Bologna.

I was hoping there was more lectures on this SPARTA site but at least you get to see her making other documentaries on History Hit etc ✌👌

excellent

That wonderful lady should have played Elizabeth in that movie Thanks

They arranged the bodies carefully so they could fit more in.

Witch persecutions intensified between 1300s and fell out of intellectual fashion by 1700, due to the Enlightenment. The widespread belief that cats were witches' familiars led to mass killing of cats, especially in France. Fewer cats meant a major expansion of the rat population, resulting in more pests and the diseases they harbored. Has there been any academic research on the relationship between the witch hysteria and bubonic plague?

Really interesting. All the facts without unnecessary padding. I would like to know if there are accounts of people who caught the plague and recovered. If so, any idea of how unusual this was?

Towards the end. It's Edward III who caps wages at pre plague levels not Richard II. The problem is not so much actual mobility as lack of manpower intially. There is only so much work that can be done in a day. The landowners are struck by rising costs of those claiming in effect overtime. Edward is also fighting the French and the drain on the nobility's coffers is affecting the tax take since profits are down. informative.

Uh middle ages I guess weren't always magic

I wish you recorded the questions 😢

15 denari to 17 denari..... Hmmm sounds like now. Fast food has gone from 15 to 17 dollars an hour in the USA

So the scene in “Quest for the Holy Grail” in which the monks are marching through the streets of a plague ridden town and beating themselves with the bible is historically based. I always thought it was just a joke.

1:30 before It spread from Mongolia, after to China...

Yersinia pestis is not a germ; it is coccobacillus bacterium.

Why is she in just a tiny window at the bottom of a lot of Black Death art? Couldn't she be big and the art smaller?

The video below is really distracting. Dr. Janegas video is super choppy and the blonde lady doing random things has smooth video

That blond lady does not seem to pay any attention at all. It's so incredibly distracting. 😀

I've never enjoyed hearing a woman talk so much Congratulations

Richard II was a ridiculous person.

"rather benign"? Tell that to the dead and grieving. Disgusting.
