∙ 10y agoThe Black Plague was caused by the Bubonic Plague, a bacterial infection spread primarily by rodents. It caused swelling of the lymph nodes, which caused painful lumps in the groin, armpits and neck, as well as gangrene and bleeding under the skin in some cases. The bleeding under the skin, as well as gangrene, could make the skin appear black in certain places; hence the nickname " black death" or " black plague".
