1592–93 London plague

Years: 1592 - 1593

London experiences its last major plague outbreak of the sixteenth century from 1592 to 1593.

During this period, at least fifteen thousand people died of plague within the City of London and another forty-nine hundred died of plague in the surrounding parishes.

“And in the absence of facts, myth rushes in, the kudzu of history.”
