Hi all. I have a very, very good book here called "The Great Mortality" about the black death, how it was spread and what the sourse was, and what set up Europe and England for a great disaster. So far the book as been very informative but it says something that confuses me. It says there was a great climate change in 1316. People were starving and yes, some were eating flesh. But it says the corn crop failed. Did England have corn before 1492? Renee Waring
