The disease spread to many countries at many different times. The disease first appeared a little earlier than 541 A.D. At that time it was in Abyssinia and Byzantium, starting the spread around there. The plague hit the British Isle, which is still around the same area, between 541 and 546. Other outbreaks included ones in 542, 558, and 572. Some of the outbursts of the sickness were as late as 581, 590, and even 600!
The outbreaks disappeared after 750 A.D. but came up again all the way in 1350 A.D. In the 1340’s, and new plague was starting to spread around Asia. It was taking over central Asia and stretching to the outside. An outburst of the new plague came up in 1346. That particular one was in Caffa, a place around Asia, and took many lives. After It went through Caffa, the disease started to spread by sea and went across to all different countries, spreading rapidly with no way to stop it.
