Aut Vincere aut mori! (Or win, or die!) This Latin phrase could sum roughly the critical stage of the fourteenth century. The economic and social structures entered a process of deterioration unstoppable. Nascent states are thrown into a brutal military campaign in pursuit of hegemony, necessary for its consolidation and further expansion. The urban masses and the rural population resulted in riots in opposition to the will of the landed aristocracy. All end unrest drowned in blood. For this reason, no doubt the crisis of the fourteenth century showed a break point in the historical process of Western Europe. As well as Georges Duby claimed from the twelfth century until the late thirteenth century Europe is at its best. A favorable climate for agricultural production will enable the economic development of a powerful aristocracy, and the urban middle class will emerge. Yet this stage that Duby called for 'that' will end tragically. A new twist on the geographical and environmental conditions the temperature will gradually decrease, which will hurt agricultural production. Romano say so and state that Tenenti when installed in the rural setting a destructive process from the combined dynamics of the variables famine and pestilence. The shortage of bread products carry the power needed to trigger a growing peasant migration from rural to urban. Lack especially wheat will force farmers to migrate to the city in search of work and food. This will generate a total lack of control in the cities, to the point of leading to greater social problems as a result of the appalling health conditions and overcrowding the masses. This is compounded by the scourge of diseases whose treatment was not only costly, but even unthinkable because of little or no studies in the field of medicine. Tenenti Romano also asserts that the population dropped to alarming levels as a result of famine, plague dynamics. In the case of cities, as already stated, the crowding of the masses allowed the resurgence of infectious outbreaks that decimated the population. Thus, the Black Death found a despicable Europe: population and economically. As you stated the rats were not the direct perpetrators of the extreme dispersion of the disease, but the material conditions in which unfolded. This includes wrongdoing regarding health policy due to lack of interest in scientific research as a correlative of the unit brake Catholic doctrine and the specific gravity of the university co-opted by the scholastic philosophy. Likewise, the fourteenth century is the last straw of the real power of the landed aristocracy. Mutatis mutandis is the watchword of the noble class. The agricultural crisis erodes the foundations of the old feudal system. The nobility mutate the sequence of the Prince of Lampedusa Leopard: change everything so that nothing changes. In the new political landscape begins to structure the networks of domination palace, where the waste and courtly lust are the ideological foundations of that monster called ancien regime. The pact with the political agenda of the emerging modern state will give the reactionary nobility Characterology renewed as a correlate of the deployment of ideological forces. The nobility and their mental and behavioral compliments pass to swell the state Hulk ideological bastions. Thus become a necessary appendage to the ideological control of the masses. So de facto the ancien regime begins to erode the social fabric valetudinarian bases. In response, the majority sectors trigger social mobilization in order to curb abuses of the nobility palace. Now, not all nobles auparon the backs of the absolute monarchy. Some were wiped off the map as a result of the peasant uprisings, the agricultural crisis and the new legal and contractual practice that gave the land to former slaves as leasehold. The rent of the land in exchange for money led to the decline of feudal power and the emergence of a small farmer with an interest free purchasing power that enabled him to buy in the cities, even mobilized in order to generate business activity. On the other hand, the Hundred Years War was a political dispute over the military deepened economic and social crisis that blew century. This confrontation greatly affect the peasant war, as their crops were confiscated to supply the militia of the Leviathan. The state of permanent war against the interests of not only farmers but also the small craft in the cities, as their trading routes ended almost always blocked. However, this war became more brutal aftermath of the crisis of the fourteenth century showed a positioning of the modern state. Professionalize the imperial armies, and the fight is now for hegemony and control of a territory with a view to effectuate the state development. Aldo
