There were outbreaks of Plague throughout the Middle Ages, due to the unsanitary conditions of the time. It was borne by fleas which spread via the rats. Rats were often aboard ships of cargo to other countries, and the plague spread to other countries via the rats.
In the case of the 1665 plague, this particular outbreak originated in Holland. King Charles II had already stopped trade with Holland in 1663 in order to minimise the chance of it spreading to England, but, within two years, the plague arrived on the streets of the poorer areas of London.
The Great Fire of London which occurred in 1666 was a blessing in disguise. It wiped out the rats, the fleas and hence, the disease.
In 1665 there wasn't the black death. The last large plague outbreak was in the 1330.

It was started the same way the earlier plague outbreaks began - fleas from rats.
In 1665 the plague reached London. It was called the Great Plague. About 70, 000 people died.
