Coming out of the East, the Black Death reached the shores of Italy in the spring of 1348 unleashing a rampage of death across Europe abnormal in recorded history. ...
The Plague had three different and vicious forms. The bubonic variant (the most common of the three) inherits its name from the swellings or buboes that appeared on the victim’s neck, armpits or groin. ... Infected fleas that attached themselves to rats, and the to humans spread this bubonic type of plague. A second variation - pneumatic plague - attacked the respiratory system and was spread by merely breathing the exhaled air of a victim. It was much more deadly than its bubonic cousin - life expectancy was measured in one or two days. ... The most common belief was that God had sent the plague and that it was his punishment for the sins mankind had committed.
