Question 117

What share of Europe's population do school accounts commonly say died in the Black Death?

  1. About one person in twenty across the whole continent
  2. Exactly forty-one per cent, counted from parish registers
  3. Almost the whole population
  4. About a third of the populationBonne réponse

Explication

Teaching accounts settle on a broad fraction because the surviving evidence is patchy and uneven between regions, so only an approximate proportion can be stated with any confidence. A precise percentage drawn from registers fails because record keeping of that kind did not exist across Europe at the time, and modern estimates still differ from one another.
