READ
Two events happened that may have created the terrible death toll. First of all, Weather had improved in Europe and it became warmer this invoked very good harvests and gave rise to more children. This happens when people start to feel better off. Then because of a much bigger population, peasants could not feed everyone so malnutrition set in. This malnutrition was found in the bones of plague victims in East Smithfield so lower disease resistance may have been why so many died.
Before the Black Plague peasants suffered from malnutrition seen by the bones dug up in Britain. This was because, From the perspective of many of the survivors, the effect of the plague may have been ultimately favourable, as the massive reduction of the workforce meant their labour was suddenly in higher demand. R. H. Hilton has argued that those English peasants who survived found their situation to be much improved. For many Europeans, the 15th century was a golden age of prosperity and new opportunities. The land was plentiful, wages high, and serfdom had all but disappeared.
- The Black Death (1348 - 1350) had killed many people. This meant there was a shortage of workers and wages went up. Parliament passed the Statute of Labourers (1351), which set a maximum wage and said that people would be punished with prison if they refused to work for that wage. This meant that despite the demand for workers and the greater availability of land, poor people stayed poor.Hence one of the reasons for the Peasants revolt and its link with the Black Death
A century later, as population growth resumed, the lower classes again faced deprivation and famine.

8. Today many people are only worried about going back to their normal lives work-wise or free time while Covid increases. If it was the Black Death and not Covid do you think these people would have the same attitude?
9. Half your friends are wiped out. Sounds incredible? No, this was the Black Death and there was not a vaccine. But like Covid quarantine is the only real answer.
