Plague: Black Death and Pestilence in Europe Naphy William
The Black Death first hit Europe in 1347. Men, women, children, young and old succumbed to a painful, drawn-out death as pustules, abscesses and boils erupted over their bodies. This horrific disease ripped through towns, villages and families.
For over three hundred years, Europeans were stalked by death. SUbsequent attacks of the disease, coming almost every decade, so limited the population that it was not until the eighteenth century that it managed to surpass the levels of the 1340s. In the end, this mysterious disease that had terrorized, terrified and killed millions, disappeared at inexplicably as it had appeared.William Naphy is Senior Lecturer and Head of History at the University of Aberdeen.
