The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic 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 port of Messina. Most sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those still alive were gravely ill. Over the next five years, the Black Death would kill more than 20 million people in Europe—almost one-third of the population. Physicians relied on crude and unsophisticated techniques such as bloodletting and boil-lancing and superstitious practices such as burning herbs and bathing in rosewater or vinegar.  Doctors refused to see patients; priests refused to administer last rites; and shopkeepers closed their stores. Many people fled the cities for the countryside, but even there they could not escape the disease: It affected cows, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens as well as people. Because they did not understand the biology of the disease, many people believed that the Black Death was a kind of divine punishment—retribution for sins against God.  Some people believed they had to purge their communities of heretics and other troublemakers.  Thousands of Jews were massacred in 1348 and 1349 and thousands more fled to the sparsely populated regions of Eastern Europe to be safe from the mobs in the cities. Some upper-class men joined processions of flagellants that traveled from town to town.  Wearing white robes, large groups- many numbering in the thousands- roamed the countryside dragging crosses while whipping themselves into a religious frenzy. Then they would move on to the next town and begin the process over again.  Based on this passage, what were some of the impacts of the Black Death on medieval society?  Your answer must be in your own words- do not use direct quotes.  Your answer must be a minimum of 100 words.
