The Black Plague was also referred to as The Black Death.

Summary (of text):

The Black Plague was a devastating global epidemic that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. It was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which spread through the bites of infected fleas or contact with infected materials. The disease was also very efficient. People who were healthy when they went to bed at night could be dead by morning.

Quotes:

‘It began to appear in China during the 1330s and reached the Crimea in 1346. From the Crimea, Pasteurella pestis and the plague took ship and travelled to Constantinople and Sicily in the year 1347, Egypt and Syria in 1348, and spread to the rest of Europe in the following years.’ -Pamuk

‘The importance of the black rat and its fleas in the transmission of plague in medieval European plague is disputed, because rats were absent in large areas of northern Europe during the second plague pandemic.’ -Schmid Et Al

‘Before 1348 the word contagium was rarely used, especially outside the medical profession. When chroniclers and theologians used the term, it applied almost exclusively to heresy or revolt and not to disease. By contrast, after 1348 its usage became widespread and not only among doctors. Chroniclers and merchants in their diaries and letters used it to describe the spread and destruction wrought by disease and principally by plague. By contagion, they clearly meant person-to-person transmission by breath, touch, or occasionally by sight, and, although the term was applied to other maladies, it was mainly reserved for describing plague, in order to distinguish it from other diseases.’ -Cohn

There was literally no site having this info.

The Siege of Caffa in 1347, where the Mongol army led by Khan Janibeg, facing an outbreak of the plague, used biological warfare by catapulting plague-infested corpses into the besieged Genoese port. This act is considered one of the earliest documented instances of biological warfare and marked a turning point in the spread of the Black Death into Europe.

The Black Death, a devastating bubonic plague pandemic, is believed to have originated in Central Asia, specifically near Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, and spread westward through trade routes to Europe and other regions. he Black Death was the second pandemic of bubonic plague and the most devastating pandemic in world history. It was a descendant of the ancient plague that had afflicted Rome, from 541 to 549 CE, during the time of emperor Justinian. The bubonic plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, persisted for centuries in wild rodent colonies in Central Asia in 1346 and mutated into a form much more virulent to humans. It "ended" in 1353, but it still exists today, having about 1,000 to 3,000 cases today.

They changed from grain to sheep because they were less maintence, and they needed this because there weren't as many workers.
