The outbreak of the Bubonic Plague that has become known as the Black Death occurred in 1348, reaching Europe (Sicily) with a fleet of Genovese trading ships in October of the year. Northern Europe was hit by 1348, and was ravaged by an eastwards spread for the next four years. However, similar outbreaks on smaller scales had occurred before, and would recur at least five times during the 14th century and throughout the earlier half of the 15th.
