Climate change that caused a mass dieoff of rats. The rats were the carriers of the plague. When the rats died, the fleas attacked the next targets they could get. When humans were bitten, they contracted the plague. Also, throwing the bodies of plague victims into the rivers didn't help at all, either. Lack of proper burial, lack of sanitation, lack of clean water, lack of safe food, and lack of skilled medical care made the problem much worse. Most of the plague victims were the lower third of the population in terms of income and social status.
