1402-00-00-Iceland	1402 JL	Great plague in Iceland in 1402	Jtem kom ut Hual einar Heriolfs son med flat skip er hann atti sialfur. kom þar ut j suo micil brada sott. at menn lagv daudir innan þriggia natta. Þar til er heitid uar þrimur lofmessvm med sæmeligv bæna halldi oc lios bruna.

Then Hval-Einar Herjólfsson sailed out with the ship he had himself. A sudden and severe disease broke out there, so that people lay dead within three nights until three masses were sung with the appropriate prayers and burning candles. Likewise, fasting without water was vowed at Candlemas and fasting with water always before Christmas. Then, most could make their confessions before they died. In autumn, the plague raged in the south of the country with so much terror that villages died out almost entirely. And people were not able to safe themselves in many places. The first priest to die in the autumn was Father Áli Svarthöfðason, followed by Brother Grímur, parish priest in Skálholt, and then one resident priest after the other, the counsellor, Father Höskuldur, exactly on Christmas Day. Thus the episcopate (Skálholtsstaður) was emptied of learned men and lay people, save for the bishop himself and two lay people.	Lögmannsannáll. In: Gustav Storm: Islandske Annaler indtil 1578.

1402-09-03-Milan	3 September 1402 JL	The Duke of Milan fell ill, even if he fled from the plague, that raged in Milan. He tried to recover in the castle Marignano (Melegnano), but after 7 days he died on the 3th September.	Istando le chose in questi termini ldio e lla sua madre Vergine Maria e ’l beato messere Santo Giovanni Batista. promissono, a cciò che tanto male non seguisse, che il Ducha malò di male pestilenziale. Uno giorno, disinando egli inn una sua terra dove era fuggito pe·lla mortalità ch’era a Milano, si sentì venire male; di che subito si volle partire e venne a un chastello si chiama Maringniano, di lungho dieci miglia da <Pavia>. E quelle dieci miglia chavalcò in fretta e in sulla nona, chon gran chaldo; e giunto in Maringniano, egli bevve più d’una metadella e mezo tra vino e aqua, chome quelli che ardea dentro ed erasi affannato nel chavalchare, e si puose giù e visse circha di sette dì: partì di questa vita a dì 3 di settenbre 1402.	With things being as they were, God, the Virgin Mary, and the blessed Lord St. John the Baptist promised that such great evil would not follow, but the Duke fell ill with a pestilential disease. One day, while dining in one of his lands where he had fled from the plague that was in Milan, he began to feel unwell; so, he immediately decided to leave and went to a castle called Marignano, which is ten miles away from Pavia. He quickly covered those ten miles around noon, in great heat; and upon arriving in Marignano, he drank more than a half measure and a half of wine mixed with water, like someone burning inside and exhausted from riding. He then lay down and lived for about seven days: he passed away on the 3rd of September, 1402.	Giovanni di Pagolo Morelli: Ricordi 2019, p. 259.	Translation by ChatGPT-3.5
