Early Medieval Europe, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 137-160, May 2021., 2021 This article explores the use of civic discourse in Gildas’ De Excidio Britonum.

History Compass, Volume 22, Issue 8, August 2024.ABSTRACT The inevitability of death does not change its variability. In The Hour of Our Death (1981), Philippe Ariès positioned the sudden, unexpected, mass death of epidemics (especially from the Black Death) against the personalized, domesticated death for which one had time to prepare.

Our estimations indicate that unexplained excess
