One suspect is a hantavirus.Sweating sickness first came to the attention of physicians at the very beginning of the reign of Henry VII. It was known, indeed, a few days after the landing of Henry at Milford Haven on 7 August 1485, as there is clear evidence of it being spoken of before the Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August. Soon after the arrival of Henry in London on 28 August, it broke out in the capital. There, it killed several thousand people by its conclusion in late October that year.Among those killed were two lord mayors, six aldermen, and three sheriffs.
