Archaeologists in Leicester unearthed a mass grave containing 123 individuals, dating back to the 12th century.

The remarkably large pit burial, one of the largest ever found in the UK, presents a compelling historical puzzle.

Researchers hypothesize that starvation or a widespread disease, possibly a pestilence, caused these deaths.

Further analysis is underway to determine the precise cause of this devastating event within medieval England.
