Living in a world surrounded by deaths of immense proportions was a part of life in the mid 1350s.

It is spread to humans when they get bit by fleas that have bitten an infected rodent. In the 1300s the majority of people lived in Europe, so the disease mainly affected the people of Europe. The black plague affected European life in good and bad ways such as population, the economy, and health and medicine.
