Greetings:

Plagues occurred both periods. In medievel europe, 1300's, it was "Bubonic"
plague, spread by fleas from rats to humans; rats and humans died. Origins
in Gobi desert, spread to asia (china pop dropped from 120 mil to 90 mil!)

Some interesting facts can be gleaned from a few websites:

http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/osheim/intro.html (1330's etc.)

http://www.pagesz.net/~stevek/ancient/death.html (collection of website
descriptions about 1665 and 1330's)

http://www.fidnet.com/~weid/plague.htm - very good lomks to plague sources
http://www.u-net.com/wbhouse/pdp/plague.htm - story about plague of london,
1665
http://www.history.rochester.edu/London_Gazette/ - Charles II seeks shelter
from plague, 1665

This is one of the most historically succinct sites with information on the
origins of the 14th century plague:
