How quickly do forests spread in a temperate climate?

On a continent similar to modern-day Europe with a temperate climate, 90% of the continent's flat and hilly land was once covered by native forest. Human activity has reduced that to 10%.
A relatively sudden event (such as plague, famine, or a massive exodus) removes most humans from the area, causing human activity to almost cease and allowing the forests to gradually regrow.
How long does it take for the forests to return to 90%?
