“Famine and pestilence, which always march in the train of war, when it ravages with such inconsiderate cruelty, raged in very part of Europe, and completed its sufferings. If a man were called to fix upon the period in the history of the world, during which the condition of the human race was most calamitous and afflicted, he would, without hesitating, name that which elapsed from the death of Theodosius the Great, to the establishment of the Lombards in Italy.”
William Robertson, A History of Emperor Charles V
