There's no way of knowing. It could be war, plague, or an astrological event. Whichever comes first.

"The bubonic variant (the most common) derives its name from the swellings or buboes that appeared on a victim's neck, armpits or groin. These tumors could range in size from that of an egg to that of an apple."  More at http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/plague.htm

Consumption, the great killer \n  \nNATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE \nWorldwide tuberculosis deaths total 1 billion in two centuries. \nTuberculosis is an ancient enemy. Human bones from the Near East dating back five millennia show the telltale pitting of TB. Mummies from Egypt ca. 2400 BCE show tubercular decay in their spines.\n\nThe ancient Greeks described it, too. Around 460 BCE, Hippocrates identified phthisis, or consumption, as the most widespread disease of his age. It was almost always fatal. Because of that, he advised his followers and students against treating late-stage consumption to avoid damage to their reputations.\n\nIt was called the “king’s evil” in medieval Europe because newly crowned kings (and queens, in England) were alleged to cure scrofula, glandular swellings in the neck associated with TB, with their touch.\n\nMoving toward the present, Franciscus dele Bo Sylvius described the progress of the disease in his Opera Medica of 1679. Two decades later, a public-health edict from the Republic of Lucca in Italy recognized the infectious nature of the disease: “Henceforth, human health should no longer be endangered by objects remaining after the death of a consumptive. The names of the deceased should be reported to the authorities, and measures taken for disinfection.”\n\nBenjamin Martin, an English physician and author of A New Theory of Consumption (1720), hypothesized that TB resulted from the actions of “wonderfully minute living creatures.” Once those creatures established themselves in the body, Martin thought, they would generate the characteristic symptoms of consumption. He further theorized that close contact with a consumptive, including frequent conversation so close as to “draw in part of the breath he emits from the Lungs,” was enough to transmit the disease.\n\nIn 1865, a French military doctor, Jean-Antoine Villemin, demonstrated that the disease could be passed from humans to cattle, and from cattle to rabbits. This was a remarkable breakthrough, because despite Martin’s wondrously small organisms, medical theory still held that each case of consumption arose spontaneously in predisposed people.\n\nA few years later, in 1882, Robert Koch demonstrated conclusively that a bacterial infection caused TB. Later investigations proved that air and secretions expelled from consumptive lungs contained live bacteria.\n\nWhether it is known as lupus vulgaris (TB of the skin), Pott’s disease (TB of the bones), or consumption (the “classic” case of lung disease), TB is one of history’s great killers. It is estimated to be responsible for 20% of the deaths in 17th-century London and 30% of those in 19th-century Paris (as recently depicted in the popular film Moulin Rouge). Although not as aggressive as plague, TB has killed more people in history than the black death, leprosy, or HIV. An estimated 1 billion people around the world have been felled by TB in the past two centuries, and the fatalities continue.\n\n“Romantic” and deadly\nAlthough TB is considered a single disease, it has been caused by at least two microorganisms. Long before TB began killing humans, it afflicted cattle. After cattle became one of humanity’s client species sometime between 8000 and 4000 BCE, however, there is evidence that Mycobacterium bovis infected humanity through the ingestion of milk. This coincides with the earliest discoveries of telltale lesions in human spines dating from 5000 BCE.\n\nHowever, after 1000 BCE the strain of TB seems to have changed. After that time, pulmonary TB caused by M. tuberculosis became widespread. M. tuberculosis is most likely an evolved form of M. bovis that developed among milk-drinking Indo-Europeans, who then spread pulmonary TB on their migrations. By the first millennium BCE, pulmonary TB was endemic throughout the world. The earliest recorded symptoms of pulmonary TB—cough, expectoration, hemoptysis, and wasting—are found in the library of Assu

In English-speaking countries, it is common for at least one person to say "Bless you" after someone sneezes. The traditional explanation for the custom is that it began literally as a blessing. Pope Gregory I the Great (540-604 AD) ascended to the Papacy just in time for the start of the plague in 590 AD (his successor succumbed to it). To combat the plague Gregory ordered litanies, processions and unceasing prayer for God's intercession. When someone sneezed, they were immediately blessed ("God bless you!") in the hope that they would not subsequently develop the plague.

Around 430 - 426 B.C., a devastating plague, which some believe to have been typhoid fever, killed one third of the population of Athens, including their leader Pericles. The balance of power shifted from Athens to Sparta, ending the Golden Age of Pericles that had marked Athenian dominance in the ancient world. Ancient historian Thucydides also contracted the disease, but he survived to write about the plague. His writings are the primary source on this outbreak. The cause of the plague has long been disputed, with modern academics and medical scientists considering epidemic typhus the most likely cause. However, a study in 2006 by Manolis Papagrigorakis of the University of Athens detected DNA sequences similar to those of the bacterium responsible for typhoid fever.[5] Other scientists have disputed the findings, citing serious methodologic flaws in the dental pulp-derived DNA study. In addition, as the disease is most commonly transmitted through poor hygiene habits and public sanitation conditions, it is an unlikely cause of a widespread plague, emerging in Africa and moving into the Greek city states, as reported by Thucydides.\n\nIn 1860-1900, typhoid fever mortality rate in Chicago averaged 65 per 100,000 people a year. The worst year was 1891, when the typhoid death rate was 174 per 100,000 persons.[2]\n\nIn 1897, Edward Almwroth Wright developed the effective vaccine.

The London theatres were closed in February 1593 due to an outbreak of Bubonic Plague.  While in the Renaissance there was, of course, as yet no "germ theory," it was already known that epidemics made places of large public gatherings hazardous.  Over the next several years, there were theatre closings in the city due to Plague fears as well as due to rioting, which was often centered around theatres as crucial sites where all the different social classes intersected.

Victorian Occupations\n\nQuarantine Officers of customs and quarantine, they were responsible for ensuring that anyone arriving on a vessel with a foul bill (i.e. coming from a country where plague existed), did not come ashore until they had spent a period of quarantine to make sure that symptoms of plague did not develop. This practice started in England with an act of parliament in 1710, although the origins of the word quarantine dates from 1377 in Dubrovnik. The last vestige of the British quarantine law was removed by the Public Health Act of 1896, which repealed the Quarantine Act of 1825. \n\nQuarrel Picker\n A glazier\n \nQuarrier \nA quarry worker \n\nQuarry Man or Quarryman \nA stone cutter \n\nQuay Clerk \nA clerk who worked at a quay or wharf.  \n\nQuiller\nSomeone who operated a machine that wound yarn onto spools. \n\nQuilter \nSomeone who quilted material. \n\nQuiltress\n A female who quilted material\n. \nQuister \nSomeone who bleached things. \n\nQwylwryghte\n A wheelwright.

The Black Plague (Bubonic Plague) was spread by fleas, rats, and people infected with the plague.  There were many cities in germany that had indoor plumbing, sewar systems, and were extremely sanitary.  During this era in other parts of Europe it was common to have farm animals, and other domestic animals in ones house (this way no one could steal them at night), these animals had fleas and the flea bites spread the disease.  For the cities that did not have indoor plumbing, open sewars, or people just threw the pot out the window when it was full, this attracted the rats whose fleas continued to spread the plague.  Lastly, cleanliness was not observed as it is today, so people might take a bath once or twice a year, this too hindered them.  Lastly, many of those cities that weren't infected totally were probably in the northern reaches of Germany or in mountainous areas that were difficult to reach.  The freezing cold killed fleas and animals infected, it also helped to kill some of the plague, but not all.  Cities probably walled themselves off from outsiders to protect themselves from the plague and only allowed clean people to enter.\nRemember:\n "Ring around the rosy,\nPocket full of posy,\nAshes, Ashes,\nWe all fall down."
