The modern version of the plague usually occurs when there is an increase in the number of rat deaths - something not recorded during the 1300s.

My quibble with this is that I doubt that this(a rat dieoff) would be considered of great importance at the time and that the records we have are no where near as complete as you would think.

I am not saying that they are wrong but that I think that this is a far to flimsy hook to hang this theory on.

I've often wondered if we might check some of the 'bog mummies' from that period. They are apparently completely intact. Maybe find some antigens, huh?
