In 1347 a Genoese ship from Caffa, on the Black Sea, came ashore at Messina, Sicily. The crew of the ship, what few were left alive, carried with them a deadly cargo, a disease so virulent that it could kill in a matter of hours. It is thought that the disease originated in the Far East, and was spread along major trade routes to Caffa, where Genoa had an established trading post. When it became clear that ships from the East carried the plague, Messina closed its port.
Black Death moved from cities to cities. it spread in multiple directions at once so hard to tell.
After the black death hit China, It spread to England by trade, and the Asian sailors. In England, one the rats had died, the fleas would spread, and get to people. The people would then have black spots on their bodies. A common way of trying to cure this disease was by cutting open veins that lead to your heart. Thanks, hope i helped, A
