Mortality and a Pilgrimage
In the year 1397, a plague came to Strasbourg and the surrounding lands. It lasted for more than two years. However, in Westrich, Swabia, and other lands, it was much worse than in Strasbourg, and people died from the plague, with young people dying more than the old.
In the following year, 1398, on All Saints' Day, the clergy in Strasbourg organized a pilgrimage and each order went around their monastery with the sacrament. Similarly, the convents and secular clergy went around their churches to implore God to stop the plague.
After that, the plague was modest, and ceased for a year or half a year, but then it returned, albeit less severely. It continued intermittently for about eight more years. (Translation: ChatGPT-3.5)

1403 A comet seen in 1403 is interpreted as a sign for the epidemic striking Eisenach and probably also Thuringia in the following year   Nach Cristi gebort tußent CCCCII jare, da wart eyn stern gesehen mit eyme langen czagile, das ein vorczeichen was eyns großen sterbens, das denne quam in deme andern jare dar nach. [2] In 1403 there was a star with a long tail, an omen for the great mortality that happened the following year (Translation: Martin Bauch)

Death of Abbot Páll in Viðey. Death of Lord Runólfur from Þykkvabær and six brothers, six more survived. Death of Abbess Halldóra in Kirkjubær and seven sisters, six others survived. Consecration of Lady Abbess Guðrún Halldórsdóttir. The convent lost all its servants three times, so in the end the younger sisters had to milk the cows, which most could hardly do, as might be expected, since they had never had to do such work. Calculated, 775 died, but after that the number of people was no longer counted, so many died. Also in the same year the servants died three times in Þykkvabær, so only two brothers who were at home and one servant of the monastery survived. The servant brought them food and they recovered. Death of Lord Abbot Þorsteinn from Helgafell and Gísli Svartssons from Reykhólar, Jón Guttormssons from Hvammur and Þórðurs from Núpur and Páll Þorvarðssons from eastern Eiðar and his wife, Cecilía Þorsteinsdóttir.

1403, March – 1403, April In Strasbourg was a sickness affecting the hips and the ulcers, which raged in many monasteries.   Aber ein siechtage von dem flosse.

Do men zalte 1403, in der vasten, do was aber ein siechtage von dem hueften und von dem flosse also gros also der dovor geschriben stet, das in menigem closter die müniche also floessig worent, das sü one singen und one messe worent, und uf meniger grossen stift kume zwene oder drige singen möhtent und die andern floessig worent uns siech. und [p. 773] bleip wenig ieman über in der stat und in dem lande, in keme dirre siechtage ane. und zu ostern was er aller groessest.

But there was a sickness of the ulcers.

In the year 1403, during Lent, there was a sickness affecting the hips and the ulcers, as severe as the one previously described. In many monasteries, the monks were so ill of ulcers that there was no singing and mess, and in some smaller chapters, only two or three were able to sing while the others were sick. In the town and the country, very few people were left untouched by this sickness. At Easter, it was at its worst. (Translation: ChatGPT-3.5)
