I'm also a little curious about what happened about a century later—the line drops by about 90% for another decade or so in the mid-1400s. It's the only other significant drop in the chart (other than a single outlier datum in the late 1800s that might be an error of some sort).

It was, in general, a shitty time to be alive no matter where you were on the planet.
