Where The Black Death Fits Into History

This term in Chemicals & Chaos, we are learning about the Black Death. 
One of our tasks was to create a timeline of important events in world's history that includes the Black Death. In that Timeline I had to include my Date of Birth, and two other events that are important to me.
What is the Black Death?
The Black Death was an epidemic of bubonic plague, a disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis that circulates among wild rodents where they live in great numbers and density. Plague among human arises when rodents in human habitation, normally black rats, become infected.
