        The Bubonic plague killed around 1.5 million people in England, as well as millions more in Europe. It was called the Black Death because of the dark marks which formed around buboes. It's believed that the disease came from bacterium in fleas, which came to Europe from the Gobi Desert which jumped on by rats in Europe. Due to bad santitation and a lack of knowledge, many preventable deaths occured. Symptoms included buboes that filled with pus, delirium, high fever, vomiting, bleeding of the lungs, extreme fatigue and eventually death.

        Worshipping God would save them. Flagellants whipped themselves in the hope that their sins would be forgiven
        
        Bad air (miasma)was to blame. This was partially true, but people didn't know about bacteria, so they carried bags of dried flowers (which was ineffective)
        
        "Cures" included: washing wounds with vinegar and rose water; cutting the buboes then filling them with lillies, tree resin and human exrement; bleeding; the burning of all cats and dogs as well as waste (this was the most effective solution); witchcraft.
