1000 A.D. France experienced a famine in the year 1000, the cause was rather unusual. The year 1000 was a time of extraordinary suffering, for the whole country was seized with a panic, fearing that the world would come to an end during this, the millennial year. Thousands went on pilgrimages, deserting their homes and their fields and obstructing the whole normal course of their existence. Since the fields were left unplowed and unplanted and since the world did not come to an end, starvation set 1024 A.D. In Russia, there was a major famine. There were 38 major famines in Russia between 1024 and 1936. Many of these famines were accompanied by such horrors as eating tree bark, grass, dung, and cannibalism.
In France from 1030-32, the whole course of nature seemed to be upset and there were intense cold in the summer and oppressive heat during the winter. Rains and frost came out of season and for three years, there were neither a period for planting seeds or for harvesting. The miseries of mankind in France at that time were incredible. Also there was a fear of the coming of the end of the world coinciding with the 1,000th anniversary of the Crucifixion. Thousands upon thousands died of starvation, and the living were too weak to bury the dead. There were many horrible instances of cannibalism and human flesh was said to have been exposed for sale in the market at Tournus. In their maddened condition, the peasants exhumed human bodies from graves and gnawed the bones. One of the harrowing incidents of the time, which will give some idea of the insanity which suffering induced, occurred in the wood of Chatânay, near the town of Macon. A traveler and his wife stopped at a hut supposedly occupied by a holy hermit. Scarcely had they entered the adobe, however, when the woman discovered a pile of skulls in the corner. She and her husband fled to the town and when an investigation followed, it was found that the hermit had murdered and partly devoured 48 men, women and children.
