It came on trading ships who carried rats that carried a flea with the disease. The flea bit someone, they got a black oozing pus filled boil at the site of the bite which spread to other parts of the body and they died. Another type of plague was passed from human to human through coughs and sneezing. The time of 1348-1350 were very dirty and helped spread the disease because of the poor cleaning and hygiene, but rats loved it.
