Between 1347 and 1351, western Europe was ravaged by plague, which killed an estimated 25 million people, or close to a third of the population. The outbreak originated in China and was spread by invasion and trade (ships contained large populations of black rats, which carried infected fleas). Terrified Europeans did not understand how the disease spread nor how to treat its victims. Social patterns broke down, as entire towns were depopulated, land went untended, and skilled workers became scarce. Many believed the plagues, which recurred periodically for centuries, were a sign of God’s displeasure.

"After [God] had struck at the Tartars, Turks and all the other unbelievers, there was on 25 January 1348, at the 23rd hour, a great earthquake to terrify the Christians, which lasted for half an hour. After which the unprecedented plague crossed the sea and so came to the Veneto, Lombardy, the March, Tuscany, Germany, France and spread through virtually the whole world. It was carried by some infected people who had travelled from the East and who, by sight alone, or by touch, or by breathing on them, killed everyone. The infection was incurable; it could not be avoided. The wife fled the embrace of a dear husband, the father that of a son, and the brother that of a brother. Even the houses or clothes of the victims could kill. Those burying, carrying, seeing or touching the infected often died suddenly themselves. Just as one infected sheep infects the whole flock, so one death within a household was always followed by the death of all the rest, right down to the dogs."

"A single stranger carried the infection to Padua, to such effect that perhaps a third of the people died within the region as a whole. In the hope of avoiding such a plague, cities banned the entry of all outsiders, with the result that merchants were unable to travel from city to city. Cities and settlements were left desolate by this calamity. No voices could be heard, except in mourning and lamentation. The voice of the bride and groom ceased, and so did music, the songs of young people and all rejoicing. The plagues in the days of Pharaoh, David, Ezechiel and Pope Gregory now seemed nothing by comparison, for this plague encircled the whole globe. (2) In the days of Noah, God did not destroy all living souls and it was possible for the human race to recover."

—a fourteenth-century account of the plague in Padua, Italy, quoted in The Black Death
