Q#4) How was the Great Catholic Schism (1378) related to the spread of the Bubonic Plague?
Question#5) According to the Picture (below) - what did Europeans believe was the cause of the Bubonic Plague?

Source: Giovanni Sercambi (1348-1424) was an apothecary [pharmacist] in a town about forty miles west of Florence. This image of the Black Plague was created about 1400. Arrows were a typical image for plague since they seem to bypass some and strike others. The Angel of Death represents the general miasma that seemed typical of the plague.

Q#6) How did the Bubonic Plague improve the power of Serfs/Peasants/the lower class?
Question#7) What can we learn about the Plague from this nursery rhyme (below)?
“Ring a-round the rosy
Pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes!
We all fall down!”
- Source Unknown
“Ring around the rosy” probably refers to rosary beads which are supposed to provide God’s help or the onset of buboes. Posies are flowers that were used to stop the odor of rotting bodies. Ashes refers to cremation of bodies. “We all fall down” is the final outcome of the plague.
