In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the Black Death shattered Europe's feudal order and created space for a new social force: the merchant class. Focusing on Florence, they trace the rise of the Medici family from wool merchants to the de facto rulers of the city. The discussion covers the rise of the popolo grasso, the Ciompi Revolt of 1378, the rise of the florin as an international currency, and the role of merchant guilds in reshaping urban politics. Lucas explains how the plague's demographic collapse gave leverage to skilled laborers and merchants alike, leading to the decline of the old aristocracy and the birth of Renaissance capitalism. Specific names and terms include the Arte della Lana, the Calimala guild, Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, Cosimo de' Medici, the Signoria, and the Palazzo della Signoria. The episode also touches on the parallel rise of the Fugger family in Augsburg and the Hanseatic League in northern Europe, showing that this was a continent-wide transformation. #BlackDeath #Medici #Florence #MerchantClass #Renaissance #CiompiRevolt #PopoloGrasso #ArteDellaLana #Calimala #Florin #Fugger #HanseaticLeague #Feudalism #History #FexingoHistory #14thCentury #EconomicHistory #SocialMobility Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
