The black death was actually a series of different plagues which spread at the same time.

Most commonly called the Bubonic Plague, this was only one form of illness - but it was the most common. This form had the best survival rates - with a mortality rate of between 35% and 70%.

The other plagues at the time were Pneumonic Plague - with a mortality rate of between 90% and 95%, and the least common plague at the time was the Septicaemic Plague which had a mortality rate of close to 100%.

Bubonic Plague was so called because of the bubble-like tumours which grew on the affliced.

Pneumonic plague affected the lungs and airways of the victim.

Septicaemic plague was a blood poisoning illness.
