the Black Death
"Ring around the rossy,
pocket full of posy,
Achoo, Achoo, All Fall Down...
"

reached England from far east. Up to one-half the population died.
- song lyrics originated from the black death.
The black rings on rosy cheeks, and pussy infections in the posy (groin) that spelled the death of 50% of england and the all out war
on rats. The speed with which the disease could kill was terrifying to inhabitants of the medieval world. The Italian author Boccaccio
claimed that the plague victims "ate lunch with their friends and dinner with their ancestors in paradise."
The Rome Church claimed the desease was water born so the very thing which could impead it's spread was banned as bathing
became illegal.
Penitance processions up to 3 days were authorized by the Pope to mollify God, but these public acts just spread the disease further. It
has been estimated that 40% of England's priests died in the epidemic. This left a large gap, which was hastily filled with underqualified
and poorly trained applicants, accellerating the decline in church power and influence that culminated in the English Reformation. Many
survivors of the plague were also disillusioned by the church's inability to explain or deal with the outbreak.
