When the plague struck Europe in the mid-14th century, it didn't just kill millions; it broke the old feudal order and forced a radical new way of governing. In this episode, we explore how the sheer scale of mortality created an administrative vacuum that only centralized bureaucracies could fill. We look at specific innovations like the first national census records, standardized tax collection systems, and the professionalization of royal administration in England and France. You'll hear about key figures like John of Gaunt's administrators, the role of the Exchequer in managing war debt during the Hundred Years' War, and how the necessity of tracking survivors led to the birth of modern public records. This is the story of how tragedy inadvertently built the machinery of the modern nation-state. #BlackDeath #MedievalHistory #Feudalism #Bureaucracy #HundredYearsWar #JohnOfGaunt #Exchequer #Census #Taxation #StateBuilding #Europe #England #France #Administration #Records #Survival #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
