In 1665, the first cases of what became known as the Great Plague of London appeared on the city's outskirts. The disease became more widespread and fatal the following year, after a deadlier strain of the bacterium Yersinia pestis was engineered by a group of escaped Terileptil criminals.
As a precaution against the spreading plague, King Charles II ordered the theatres closed. This put actor Richard Mace out of work, causing him to become a highwayman. (DW: The Visitation)
The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa visited Suffolk in 1665. (BFA: The Demons of Red Lodge)
