Black Death: Inside Medieval Lockdown

Around 50% of everyone in Europe died during the Black Death. It's very hard to make sense of that. What did it look and feel like to live through this calamity?


Today Maddy Pelling and Anthony Delaney are joined by historian Helen Carr whose new book Sceptred Isle: A New History of the Fourteenth Century is out in May.


Produced by Freddy Chick. Edited by Tomos Delargy. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
