Small pox and Bubanoic Plague were both used along with other diseases too. But the 14th Century Great Plague saw by far the deadliest use of biowarfare led mainly by the Mongols but later adapted by others, it wiped out 60% of the then European Population, sometimes it came along with invader migration and seeing the effectiveness the invaders catapulted and threw dead bodies of infected people into enemy territories and the highly infectious disease with no cure than wiped out entire populations there. The period 13th-14th Century is notoriously known as the Dark Age mainly because of the Great Bubanoic Plague epidemic also called the black death, arguably the worst disease epidemic in history which killed 200 million people in Europe, Asia and Africa out odf a total worl=d population of 450 million then, human population has never experienced such decline since the end of the epidemic. The disease was mainly caused by rat bites, but it was spread in such a a large scale when it was used as a weapon of war. Thankfully today bio warfare is banned, listed as a WMD, use of which is a war crime. And the bubanoic plague today has a vaccine and is easily curable, but it has yet to be totally eradicated like small pox has been (1979), but hopefully will soon...
IIN, the case of medieval bio warfare?
