""It starts like the common cold. Then comes fever, baseball-sized black swellings on the neck, and coughing up blood. Few of those infected live more than two days, and in the three years since it first struck in 1437, almost half of Europe's population had died. This A&E Special begins at the rat-infested ships that brought the bubonic plague as it tells the story of the Black Daeth - a scourge that penetrated peasant huts and the papal palace alike. Entries from diaries and journals offer up the actual words of plague victims, painting a livid portrait of suffering and fear." - from case"

"During the worst biological disaster in the history of mankind, the so-called black death released an indiscriminate fury which shook the very foundations of human order. When all was said and done, nearly one-third of Europe's population had been completely wiped out, and devastated survivors were left to contend with a world forever changed, both socially and economically."@en
