There has been Ice Ages and Little Ice Ages, maybe hundreds of times! Things like this are not "abnormal" but "Normal" for our planet.

True, the last little ice age came after a period called the "Medieval Warming". The climate was stable and unusually warm. The population of Europe increased far beyond the ability to feed itself under normal growing conditions. Along came the little ice age and bam. This is believed to have set up the conditions for the Plague.
And one of those involuntary population reductions.
