The plague came from central and eastern Asia and when rats came with fleas on a shipment to Europe it spread by the fleas biting the rats, therefore getting the plague, then biting the humans giving them the plague then becoming air borne killing about everyone in all of Europe. The Black Death  cleared about 1,000 villages in England. The Black Death killed millions of people in Europe and around the world. The Black death was a good and bad thing it was bad because so many people died. It was good because in a manor if some serfs lived and the vassal or knight died the serf could be in a high rank spot or live life like get a job, go to school, or become something else.
