According to tradition, how many people were killed in the great fire of London in 1666?

6
600
60,000
6,000,000
The death toll is traditionally thought to have been small, as only six verified deaths were recorded. This reasoning has recently been challenged on the grounds that the deaths of poor and middle-class people were not recorded.
