History

How many people did the Great Plague of London kill?

There was an extended period (1347 – 1750) in which Europe suffered from intermittent bubonic plague epidemics.

In England the Great Plague (1665–66) was the last major epidemic of the bubonic plague and killed an estimated 100,000 people, which was 15% of London’s population. It was transmitted through the bite of an infected rat flea.
