In this first episode of History Hit LIVE on Timeline, Dan Snow is joined by Professor Mark Bailey, High Master of St Paul's School, London and Professor of Later Medieval History at the University of East Anglia to delve into the topic of The Black Death. We'll learn how it emerged and spread throughout the world, what impact it had on society and how it would return every few decades over the 400 years that followed.
Professor Mark Bailey's book After the Black Death will be available in late 2020.
The clips in this episode are from the documentary The Great Plague, which you can watch right now on Timeline for free: https://youtu.be/HPe6BgzHWY0
