1336 CE to 1347 CE
The Black Death, beginning in 1347, spreads rapidly from inner Asia along the major European sea and land trade routes to eastern Thrace, Anatolia, the Near East, and Egypt, as well as to Provence, Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica.
The plague in 1347 alone kills an estimated twenty-five percent to fifty percent of the populations in these regions.
