Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Black Death caused necrosis, with blackened skin and gangrene in the extremities?

Yes. Two reference sources state that bubonic plague, the disease behind the Black Death, produced blackened tissue from gangrene, and one describes acral necrosis with striking black discoloration of the extremities. Together they cover the claim that the Black Death caused necrosis with blackened skin and gangrene in the extremities.
