Answer 5

Also known as Black Plague, caused by a flea found on rats that spread the disease to humans, sparking a "war" between rats and humans and was founded in the Renaissance or middle ages. Many noble men and woman died, many poor as well. You'd get a huge wart somewhere and would vomit up blood, and many people (and rats, even though they are blamed, it was the flea) died in the epidemic. But those who survived seemed to have an immune to the disease, and many mix-ups occurred. Homeless took empty manors, along with many poor people. Prices soared, and the effect in all was disastrous. But it went away, somehow.
