The black death reached Europe in 1347, probably first through Italy via ships from the Eastern Mediterranean. Over the next 10-12 years it touched virtually every part of Europe, as well as the Middle East and North Africa. Estimates of overall losses are that as much as one third of the population of Europe died in that period. That is only an average, some localities had much higher death rates. There are known examples of towns having death rates of up to 90%. The worst of the plague was over by the end of the 1350's, but it continued to flare up for centuries, and there were smaller outbreaks until the 18th century.

Why did the plague known as black death disappear in winter?

The Black Death disappeared in winter because the whole plague came from infected fleas, and in the winter, fleas are dormant, so the fleas couldn't bite people to spread the disease. However, in the summer, fleas are not dormant, so they continue to spread the Black Death to people. This is ironic because most sicknesses are worse in the winter than in the summer.
