what famous people died from the bubonic plague

[mikewith]

Same question asked last week - the verdict being that Louis IX of rance may have died of it in 1270, while on Crusade, but that the plague mainly killed the poor, who were unable to escape the cramped conditions that so helped the spread of the plague.
