‎Summary The agrarian crisis of 1315-17, known to history as the Great Famine, was one of the most devastating environmental crises to hit Europe within the last two millennia. The almost biblical flooding of 1314-16 brought about a series of crop failures, triggering a widespread agricultural crisis that unfolded into a catastrophic famine, which hit both human and animal populations with unprecedented force. The impact of this crisis, and the major long-term environmental consequences that followed, thus mark a truly watershed moment in European history. This volume provides an in-depth study of the Great Famine as it affected the British Isles, but through this focused approach, it also offers new insights into the late-medieval North European economy and society at a time of political, socio-economic, and biological shocks and crises. Close analysis of contemporary archival sources reveals that the Great Famine was a highly complex phenomenon made by both Nature and man; and this is reflected in a highly interdisciplinary approach that studies climate, economy, demography, and health, as well as the way in which human behaviour further exacerbated the impact of famine.

‎Famine, peste et guerres de religion à Villefranche en Beaujolais à la fin du XVIe siècle‎

‎ Editions du Poutan, 2013, in/8 broché, 211 pages. Illustrations en noir et blanc.‎

‎"Famine, peste et guerres de religion à Villefranche en Beaujolais à la fin du XVIe siècle. Entamé dans l'euphorie de la Renaissance, le XVIe siècle, à Villefranche et dans le Beaujolais comme dans le reste du Royaume, se termine dans les affres de la famine de la peste et de la guerre. Les famines sont d'abord provoquées par un changement climatique sensible : ce que les historiens nommeront le petit âge glaciaire atteint alors son paroxysme. La peste, résiduelle à la fin du Moyen Âge, profite de ces conditions pour étendre la fréquence et l'amplitude de ses attaques. Enfin l'intolérance religieuse jette les uns contre les autres catholiques et protestants français durant quatre décennies de guerre civile." ‎
