À propos de ce contenu audio

In episode 5 of The Black Death: The Pandemic That Rebuilt Europe, Lucas and Luna explore the economic aftershocks of the 1348 plague. They discuss how labor shortages gave peasants unprecedented bargaining power, leading to the Ordinance of Labourers in England and the rise of the Lollard movement. The conversation covers John Ball's radical sermons, the 1381 Peasants' Revolt, Wat Tyler's confrontation with King Richard II, and the long-term decline of serfdom. They also touch on sumptuary laws, wage inflation, and the shift toward a cash economy. This episode reveals how the plague didn't just kill millions—it rewrote the rules of work and class.
