If this is homework try looking on the Luminarium website other thanthat the black deathwasaround, so was the peasants revolt, quite abit of smuggling, a few wars but again if this is homeworth what you need to know depends on which one of the Tales you were reading. It also wasa time of an incresing middle classand an expansion of trade.

A great deal--the 100 Years War, for one thing--and the Black Death, I think, for another.
