Plague in which mostly men died and many children

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

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