I need a quick answer to a question that I'd otherwise have to research by
getting a couple books from Inter-Library Loan, and I haven't the time --
so pardon my laziness by posing it here:
What is the date (or do we know the date) of the famine Ralph Glaber tells
about with such relish in _Historiae_ 4.10 ff? The previous paragraph
notes the deaths of several clebrities in the year 1033, but the account
of the famine proper begins with an unhelpful "sequenti itaque tempore."
Gratefully,
Patrick Nugent
