Or consider that thanks to the Romans, we have extensive records of the wine grape harvests in England during the Roman era, and yet for most of the past thousand years it's been far too cold to grow grapes in England. How does global warming explain that?

The Black Plague was also caused by the 'Little Ice Age' which lasted for 150 years in Europe. It hit this continent also, because the fossil record shows evidence of it. The native population migrated South during that period.
In Europe, the people were forced in doors, and were restricted to less food and foods that were less healthy. Naturally, diseases like Bubonic Plague shot through the population like wild fire as a result.
