People in those days gave a variety of reasons. The most popular reason was punishment from God, while the true reason was fleas. After it became pneunomic, doctors wore strange masks stuffed with herbs in a failed attempt to protect themselves. It was only when rat-cathers came that they were able to combat the plague.

They believed it was the work of God's anger towards the people for being a sinful human race.

They also believed that is was the King death that had the body of a skeleton but it could still walk and talk. People believed that if you underestimated or hurt his feelings and got him angry, he would attack you in your sleep and you would have the black plague.

Don't worry I am currently learning the Black Death in school now!
