December 1710 CE

There are, however, no doubts concerning the outbreak of the plague in late November 1710 in the small village of Lappen just north of Helsingør, populated by fishermen, ferrymen and nautical pilots.

The first death attributed to the plague is that of a fisherman's daughter on November 14; the peak of the plague in Lappen is reached on December 23, and while it will fade out there in January 1711, it has already spread to or continued in neighboring Helsingør.
