ZDP: Death, The Pale Rider! (50) - a podcast by zombieradio

This week on ZDP: Welcome to episode number 50! This week: Thorn opens talking about death and how it is related in society, religion, genetics, and more. Also discussed in this opening segment is the 14th and 15th centuries, several horrific events took their toll on European lifestyles. Famine, disease and war brought death and devastation in many forms. Has the world been visited by the true "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"? History seems to think so! So what do we know, or at least think we know about the celestial entities, and what do they have planned for the future of all life on this planet? The Great Famine lasted seven years, from 1315 to 1322. The first three years, however, were the most severe, and they adversely affected the next decade. Even chroniclers in the 18th and 19th centuries pointed out the severe food shortages and torrential weather patterns of 1310-1320. Well, let's take a look! The Black Death originated in Asia, although where is unsure. It ravaged India and the Middle East, leaving a trail of death along the Great Silk Route before reaching the Crimea, where it would eventually be loaded on Genoese ships bound for Italy. What caused the spread of the plague? Who was to blame or at least who was blamed? Legion's Load: This week Damian pays tribute to Amon Amarth! Listen as he recounts his experiences with this awesome band and fellow show goers! For centuries, England and France held a bitter rivalry that rulers continuously tried in vain to amend, often by intermarriage. Consequently, when Henry II of England married Eleanor of Aquitaine, the territory that came with the union gave the king of England control over more French lands than the king of France. Well, whats with all this drama anyways? Who stopped it and why? The predicaments of the 14th century drastically changed the ways of thinking in Medieval Europe. A way of life once centered around the Catholic Church and a feudal government was shattered when faith in God could not make the crises disappear and lords could not supply their subjects with enough food and protection. www.zombieradio.net www.facebook.com/zdpincognito www.twitter.com/zdpincognito
