What this episode covers
After enjoying the fruits of her first true Golden Age, France faces her worst challenge yet - the fourteenth century. Religious warfare, dynastic collapse and overcrowding all kill the vibe, and 1348 brings the worst news of all: the Black Plague is here. Throughout all the chaos to come, Notre Dame cathedral finds a new role for itself in the daily life of the community.
