It was a deadly disease carried by fleas on a rat or rodent. it was common in the black death. it took over 200 million lives. It is an infection of lymphatic system. it is contagious and some symptoms include diarrhea, chills , fever, barfing, ETC.

Bubonic plague is the best-known manifestation of the bacterial disease plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis). Bubonic Plague is often used synonymously for plague, but it does in fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections. Bubonic Plague kills about 50% of infected patients in 4-7 days without treatment. The Bubonic plague is believed by many to be the Black Death that swept through Europe in the 1340s.

in more simpler words, the bubonic plaque is a disease that in the 1340s killed many people. some of the symptoms are vomiting and buboes(egg-sized swelling or bumps).
