Famine Conditions Reported in Munich and Tirol
From the London Gazette May 29 and Munich May 12, news describes Bavaria and Tirol in hardship with grain scarcity. Flour stored since 1632 is ground for bread for the poor, and measures urge emigration of idle and foreigners. Beech and alder bread with spice is seen as bread of last resort in Augsburg. Public notices list several London, Cornwall, and Gloucestershire tradespeople due to appearances at Guildhall and other venues.
