The fourteenth century had been the worst, they agreed, although their reasons were quite different.
Aziraphale had disliked it because the humans tended to interpret plague as the wrath of God being visited upon them. He longed to tell them that no, it was instead a lack of sanitation and basic hygiene, but since such an explanation would have involved a terribly anachronistic presentation of germ theory, he was stymied.
Crowley disliked it just because it was dull. So many deaths so quickly meant little scope for creativity in corruption; the souls rolled into Hell without need of his expertise.
