Buboes (painful black swellings in the groin and armpits).
Because the bubonic plague (first to hit Britain) was when humans got boils, and the boils were BLACK. Because the Bubonic plague, (spread by fleas from infected rats), would cause the victim to receive boils, and blotches of skin that would turn black or blue. These are not boils but enlarged lymph nodes which became black (gangrenous).
