During the Hundred Years' War, there was poverty, death, famine, and harder times ahead. High prices hindered everybody. The rich people became poor and the poor people became poorer. The way of living had to be hard at that time. Living without anything has to be the worst.
             During the Hundred Years' War people really struggled. They were going through a depression, so to say. Prices reached outrageous peaks. A good ox cost at least two-hundred francs, or more; the price of a pig rose to twenty francs. And the standard of living was very low. City folk cried throughout the night because of the rising prices. They were living day to day.
             The winter was the worst that they have had in the past forty-years. At this time poverty was at its worst. But some good citizens of Paris bought three or four houses and made them into hospitals for little hungry children. In each hospital there were forty beds fully equipped donated by the good people?. But I guess that the food situation got so bad that when spring time came around, everybody who made drinks from apples and sole plums dumped the residue of the fruits into the street for the pigs to eat. The pigs never got to the fruit, the starving people of the city ate it with great relish. Just imagine there being no food and you and your family have to eat not even the leftovers but the residue of fruit. Animals with no food dug up deceased bodies to eat. This horrible situation became worse from day to day, and the war was doing more harm than good.
             The Hundred Years' War caused more harm than good. People were dying in the war and in the country side. Food was scarce, prices were extravagant. "Regular" people had it tough during this time. It was tough for everyone. You just had to make best of your situation.
