A procession is organized in Metz because of the plague.

Text originalOriginal text

Item, le VIIe jour du mois de may, nos seigneurs firent faire une procession générale à Saint-Clément [...] Laquelle procession fut ordonnée pour deux choses; la première pour la guerre, et la seconde pour la mortalité, car on commensoit fort à mourir de la peste

Journal de Jean Aubrion, p. 147 1
