Historical documents reveal that Transylvania experienced harsh winters in the 17th century, contributing to famine and epidemics. A study analyzed 937 reports from various localities, highlighting extreme weather patterns during the Little Ice Age. Researchers confirmed 55 exceptionally harsh winters, particularly between 1645 and 1700, which led to poor harvests and rising food prices. The study suggests that climatic anomalies exacerbated existing social pressures rather than being the sole cause of the crises.
