The article focused on some aspects I've never known about, such as draught and deforestation. Very interesting and, unfortunatly, actual. But, I would like to leave a remark: in that time, european kings didn't eat turkey!

Turkey is a bird from north america. Therefore, europeans only started to eat it after they re-discovered the Americas, in 1942 - the vikings already discovered the continent in the X century.
Only, the american people have thanksgiving day and it's principal plate is turkey - I'm not very sure since, I'm not american. You should look for thanksgiving day history!

I hope my english is understandable!
Continue the good work.
