And then a man could purchase a horse for half a mark, which before had been worth forty shillings ; a large fat ox for 4^.; a cow for I2d.; a bullock for 6d.; a fat wether for 4//.; a sheep for 3d.; a lamb for 2d; a large pig for $d.; and a stone of wool for nine pence; and sheep and cattle roamed about, wandering in fields and through the growing harvest, and there was no one to drive them off or ...collect them; but in ditches and thickets they died in innumerable quantities in every part, for lack of guardians; for so great a dearth of servants and labourers existed that no one knew what to do. Memory could not recall so universal and terrible a mortality since the time of Vortigern, king of the Britons, in whose reign, as Bede in his Degestis Anglorum testifies, the living did not suffice to bury the dead. " In the following autumn no one could get a harvester at a lower price than eight pence with food.
