When it came, you had to give 4 pounds Heller for a quarter of grain. It was the same with other things. People fell into great poverty and suffered hunger. This was followed by a great dying, which will be described on another page. | Anonymus: Konstanzer Chronik 1891, p. 174. | Translation by Moritz Uebelhack |
