The Black Death

 

Dark Ages



The Black Death was a plague that killed one third of the European population. It began in 1347 and ended in 1350 - though many other incidents of death occurred thereafter. It is impossible to certainly know what the Black Death did, or where it was originated. According to many scientists, it is supposed that the Black Death was carried by rats coming from the East (China).

This is by far the most famous plague since it killed so many people. "Brothers deserted brothers" - "The cattle was moving unattended." It was such the hysteria formed through the Black Death that many people even today fear for something similar to happen in the future.
