Rats came from the Trade ships from Asia, the rats were on board the ships, the black Plague started out in Asia and since it was poorly populated it was not an epidemic but when the ships came to Europe which is densely populated the disease spread like wild fire, the rats carrying the disease liked the uncleanlyness of the towns and thrived there. the fleas on the rats also had the disease and attached themselves to peoples skin, clothes and hair.

hope this helps:)

What did the plagues do in the medieval times in England?

We do not know exactly how many died in the Black Death, but it might have been as much as half the people of England. It returned more than once, and kept returning until the seventeenth century. When the Black Death was over, there were not enough farmers in England. Serfs were supposed to stay on the manors where they were born, but with an insufficient number of workers, many lords tried to tempt serfs off the lands of their neighbors. They did this by offering a better deal than the serfs had previously had. This brought serfdom in England to an end in not very many years.
