Have you ever been overseas and brought back a souvenir? In 1347, some sailors visiting Asia from Italy returned with something no body wanted...the plague. It got to Europe using many different means of transport. It spread in bloodsucking fleas that lived on rats. But animals weren't the only thing spreading it. People helped spread the plague in biological warfare. They would shoot infected bodies, using catapults, into enemy villages. The disease would start to kill their population until the attackers could take control.
Some people brought the plague upon theirselves by being greedy, like theives. They would steel from abandon houses after the owners had passed away. The thives being the sneeky criminals they are would take this chance to steel food, not knowing it contained the plague. It was the last thing they will ever steel.
