Abstract
Historical climatology reveals that there was a relatively cold period in Europe until around the end of the 9th century, followed by the Medieval Climatic Optimum which lasted until the early 13th century. Meteorological
events, particularly impressive weather extremes, remained recorded in written sources, while insight gained by other sciences has also lately been used in reconstructing events. The interdisciplinary approach revealed that volcanoes are one of the frequent initiators of disturbances continuing for several years.
