Plague in which mostly men died and many children

Text originalOriginal text

incepit pestilentia satis rara et insolita, quia viri fortes in ea moriebantur et pauce mulieres; de pueris vero valde raro aliqui obierunt.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

This plague began in a rather rare and unusual way, because strong men and few women died from it; but very few children.
