Western and Central Europe (14th – mid-15th c.)

Western and Central Europe from 1301 to the middle of the 15th century: the popes at Avignon and the Great Western Schism, Dante’s Divine Comedy and Boccaccio’s Decameron, the long struggle of England and France in the Hundred Years’ War, the Black Death that carried off a large part of the continent’s population, the Golden Bull that fixed the election of the emperors and the English Peasants’ Revolt — an age of calamities that was also the age in which Italian humanism was born.
