s literally blame the Irish Potato Famine on landlords
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)
The proximate cause of the famine was the infection of potato crops by blight (Phytophthora infestans)[13] throughout Europe during the 1840s. Blight infection caused 100,000 deaths outside Ireland and influenced much of the unrest that culminated in European Revolutions of 1848.[14] Longer-term reasons for the massive impact of this particular famine included the system of absentee landlordism[15][16] and single-crop dependence.

I mean... yeah? When they finally started giving out food it was only to people who owned less than 1/4 of an acre. Because owning 1/2 an acre meant you were a bigshot. In that kind of society there's going to be lot of dead people if the harvest is bad.
