    - The Bubonic plague emerged in Asia in the 1320s and 30s, and migrated westward
    - The Black Death devastated the medieval world, by the year 1352, 25 millions were dead.
    - The plague was carried by fleas that would hitch rides on rats and humans, passing on the disease. Medieval people believed that the disease was spread by 'bad air' and some scholars speculated that the problem was due to astronomical events
    - It is called `Black Death´ Because of the black spot that appears in their bodies.
    - The disease ran its course, it would strike again over the next several decades and in later centuries.
    - Most thought the real reason behind the plague was that it was God's punishment for people's sins and some sought to appease God by building churches and practising penance such as flagellation.
    - They are groups of people that whipped themselves to rid the world of the plague and sin. They marched around villages trying to get others to do the same.
