Symptoms of the Black Death

The spread of the plague

How did the plague spread? There were two types of plague: 1.) Bubonic plague was the more common and was carried in the bloodstream of rats. Fleas bit the rats and became infected. They then hopped onto other rats or humans, bit them and passed on the disease. 2.) Pneumonic plague was less common, but more deadly. It was caught by breathing in the germs released when an infected person coughed or sneezed.

What did people believe caused the plague? “In the month of August 1348, after the evening sun began to set, a very bright star appeared above Paris … The star seemed much nearer the earth than stars usually are … it seemed to me … that the star stayed in one place … At last darkness fell. Then to the amazement of all of us, the star split up into many different rays. It shed these rays towards the east, over Paris. The star then completely disappeared.” Description of the plague reaching France by Jean de Venette, friar. What does this source tell you about how people thought the plague began? Why did many people blame God?

What did people believe caused the plague? Sent by God to punish them for their sins. The movements of the planets. Being close to infected people. Bad smells.

What were the causes? Look at sources F to J on page 120: Make a list of all the different causes of plague you can find in these sources.
