It was a terrible disease that spread because people in the middle ages were not clean. They took 1-3 baths a year, which made them targets for the black death. Traders, went to other places to trade and if they had it they would then spread it to other countries. The plague covered all of Europe. People became desperate so they came up with weird, and strange cures. Like putting chickens in your arm pits. Or putting dead wolfs in barrels so the plague would give bacteria to that instead. Known of them worked. The plague was spread by fleas, but back then they thought it spread by rats.
