Hashitamaha was the largest city in North America for centuries. By the eleventh century it was the center of a vast cultural and economic network stretching from Lake Superior almost to the Gulf of Mexico. The people of this region looked to the King of Hashitamaha as the ultimate mediator between humans and the divine, particularly the Sun. However, he did not have direct political sway over most of this region. The Black Death of the thirteenth century in turn threatened the power of the priestly oligarchy. (work in progress)

abstract	Hashitamaha was the largest city in North America for centuries. By the eleventh century it was the center of a vast cultural and economic network stretching from Lake Superior almost to the Gulf of Mexico. The people of this region looked to the King of Hashitamaha as the ultimate mediator between humans and the divine, particularly the Sun. However, he did not have direct political sway over most of this region. In the early twelfth century Hashitamaha was devastated by diseases that arrived at the city along trade routes that stretched to the northeastern end of the continent, where they had been brought by the growing numbers of Norse settlers. The king appeared unable to stop the epidemics, casting doubt on his claim to wield divine authority. A small group of priest-nobles seized authority and established an oligarchic government. They were able to restore Hashitamahan government and make the city powerful again. The widespread use of livestock over the course of the thirteenth century helped guarantee the city's strength. Hashitamaha extended its rule over the adjacent regions, resulting in a powerful empire. The Black Death of the thirteenth century in turn threatened the power of the priestly oligarchy.
