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.

1405-00-00-Odense 002	1405 JL	Foundation of the shoemakers‘ guild in Odense, Denmark in 1405 to support and protect each other in the case of misfortune brought by the plague	Thet schedhæ saa i forthamæ timæ, ath stor døth regnerethæ ouer al werden, som man kallæ wære pestilencia, tha friictæthæ suo wæl vngæ som gamlæ, forthi at døthæn han spar ængen, tha friictæthæ oc schomaghere svønæ i Otthens for døthen oc thottæ them suo, ath the wilde flii theres thing suo, ath om noger aff them døthæ, ath han sculdæ wæl worthæ forestanden, tha gingæ the til alderman oc til stolbrøthræ, som tha wore forstandere i schomaghere lagh i Otthens oc bathæ thøm, ath the wilde wæl gøre oc vnnæ them at hawe eet kumpanyæ, tha beradde the them voeth alle brøthræ oc vntæ them thet at hawe oc at holde, som her æfter stander screwet.	It so happened in bygone times that great death ruled all over the world, which was called pestilencia, and was feared by young and old alike, because death spared no one. At that time, also the shoemakers' journeymen in Odense feared death and it seemed [appropriate] to them to move their goods in that way that if someone of them died, he should be well provided for, then they went to the alderman and to the companions who then were in the council of the shoemakers‘ guild in Odense and appealed to them that they would do well in granting them a company, this they told to all the companions and bestowed them to have and to hold what is written hereinafter.

[...] Ego vero valeo; valent et miei, preter Andream, qui, sicut Deo placuit, Petrum comitatus est. Sit nomen Domini benedictum. Philippus hodie nona die graviter egrotavit cum sigillis et signis; convalescit tamen et, licet febris adsit et ulcus suspectum ingravescat (p. 407), liberationem speramus. Vale et in morte Andree, precor, non commovearis, sed mecum teneas et secum et nobiscum Deum egisse non solum sicut oportet, sed misericorditer atque bene.
