the french plague was when a ship from syria,africas crew had la peste and came to marseille,France to deliver goods.the captian told people about the crew but the merchants wanted it so bad they paid and less than a few days panice broke out.people built walls around them to keep away the disease.there where so many dead bodys and so litttle slaves,and soon there where to many corpses they left them where they fell with over a thousands corpses lying in piles and scattered along the city.50,000 of the population of 90,000 died.the song ring around the rosie was written in its honor.
