The black death began to spread in about 1437 during the Middle Ages from fleas that bit mice and rats that were infected with a the black death. The fleas would swell from the infected blood they took in and vomit it out. Fleas love to bite humans bite humans any chance they get. Infected fleas bit any human they could find spreading the black death.

Was the plague sudden?
== == Yes and no. It took decades, close to a century, for the plague to move across Asia and Europe but when it reached a given region or town then many people would come down with it very quickly because it is highly contagious and they didn't know how it was spread.

It reached London in 1666, just after Italy and Vienna had been struck with it. The great fire of London, also in 1666 did help in a clean up of the plague. However, people in 1666 thought much differently. Many people believed the Black Plague came from God, to smite the unbelievers and blasphemers. Much like the situation with Noahs Ark. The church used the plague to get more people back into religious control confirming it had indeed been a message from God.
