Original Note:
According to the research, 9/49 of plague victims were African. While this does show an overrepresentation of African's the sample size is too small to present "Black women most likely to die in medieval London plague" as fact. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/nov/21/women-with-black-african-ancestry-at-greater-risk-when-plague-hit-london
