The bubonic plague was ergotism from the Claviceps fungi, general uncleanness and ratbitefever, combined. It was not one disease, but a mix of greed (at the mill, ergot meant more money for less grains, they sold nearly twise the flour with ergot in the mix), uncleanness and an aggressive form of ratbitefever.
Bubonic plague is the best-known manifestation of the bacterial disease plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis (formerly known as Pasteurella pestis). Bubonic plague is often used synonymously for plague, but it does in fact refer specifically to an infection that enters through the skin and travels through the lymphatics, as is often seen in flea-borne infections. Bubonic Plague kills about 50% of infected patients in 4-7 days without treatment. The Bubonic plague is believed by many to be the Black Death that swept through Europe in the 1340s.

Did you know that Albert Hoffman invented '___' from isolating chemical compounds in the Claviceps fungi? And Nostradamus used Ergot in order to enter a trance state, before he wrote his famous quatrains. Fungi are probably the reason behind religion and prophecy in the first place.
