Read the excerpt from the time traveler’s guide to elizabethan england. the following examples show how famine hits the cumberland parish of greystoke. here "a poor fellow destitute of succor” is found in the highway and is carried to the constable’s house, where he dies. a miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack of food. a beggar boy from the scottish borders is found writhing in agony in the road and dies soon afterward "in great misery.” another "poor, hunger-starved beggar boy” is found in the street and carried into a house, where he dies. a widow is discovered dead in a barn. a four-year-old local boy dies "for want of food and means,” as does his mother. a total of sixty-two people die in greystoke in just one year—during which time the parish sees no marriages and only three children conceived. you hear the story of a man leaving his home and walking hundreds of miles in search of work or food and returning after a couple of months with sufficient money only to find that his wife and children have all since died. the details from this excerpt best support the inference that death from starvation was common in elizabethan england. very few people died of starvation in elizabethan england. communities were shocked by the deaths from starvation. communities tried to prevent the deaths from starvation.
