How many people did the flu kill in medieval times?

There is no reliable data on the number of people who died from the flu during the Middle Ages. While it is known that the flu existed during this time period, there were no accurate methods of tracking and recording deaths due to specific diseases. Additionally, the term "flu" was not used during this time, and records that mention "fevers" or "pestilence" may have referred to various illnesses, including the flu.
