This study examines the grain economy of fourteenth-century Flanders, a region marked by dense urbanisation, warfare, famines, and plague. Using extensive data from ecclesiastical landlords, it reconstructs grain price trends, analyses market integration, and explores the social impact of price shocks. It highlights the adaptive strategies of landlords and cities in managing food crises, offering new insights into resilience and vulnerability in premodern economies.
Stef Espeel is a historian specialising in the medieval Low Countries. He obtained his PhD in 2021 from the University of Antwerp, focusing on the grain economy of late medieval Flanders. Currently, he is a recipient of a postdoctoral grant from the FWO to investigate the short-term economic disruptions caused by epidemics during the late Middle Ages.
