The year is 1315, and a famine of unprecedented scale grips the continent, marking the beginning of a century of despair. Unrelenting rains lead to failed harvests, and soon, the eerie silence of empty markets is replaced by the desperate cries of the starving. This Great Famine, a grim harbinger of the trials to come, would forever alter the course of history. As we navigate through this bleak period, we’ll also explore its far-reaching impacts, including how it sowed the seeds for stories that resonate even today, such as the haunting tale of Hansel and Gretel.
