Disease in the Heartland
The Bubonic Plague has taken hold in the heart of our Flavor Rank. It empties the villages and stalks the alleys of the cities, sparing neither the quarters of the rich nor the poorest hovel, and the graveyards beyond the walls will soon not be able to keep pace with the carts. No physician's art has yet found a way to check it.
Against an enemy that answers to no siege and no treaty, a crown can do little but the humble work of survival: to bury the dead with what dignity remains, to feed and shelter the living, and to hold some order where panic would breed more death than the sickness itself. We can only tend our people, endure, and pray the worst will soon pass.

historical_info = golden_century_events.50.desc.historical_info From the Black Death of the fourteenth century onward, recurring waves of plague swept the Iberian Peninsula, emptying its cities and fields and shattering the labor and revenue on which every state depended. The Castilian plague of 1596 to 1602 alone killed perhaps six hundred thousand people, a demographic blow from which Castile never fully recovered and which historians count among the causes of its long decline.
