The survivors of the black plague demanded for more food, land, and money in exchnge for working in the lord's fields. Teh lord would agree, since he needed someone to grow the crop in the fields to raise money.Eventually, the serfs would get enough money to grant freedom. When the freedom is granted to a serf, he or she would go to the town and live there, getting a job in the town.
the black death affected the position of a serf because the serfs that didn't die from the disease had to do much more work if they wanted their family to stay alive.
They died like everyone else.
Serfs worked for all the upper classes of society in their time. basically, they were peasants-- they are peasants.

A Reeve was a serf who was elected by the other serfs to supervise the village. He lived and worked in the village just as any other serf did. He proably did a bit better than the average serf due to the privledges of his position, but the fact that he was elected annyually by the villagers probably limited his corruption somewhat.
Lack of civil rights, often hunger and illness, mistreatment, little chance of changing their position in life.

Many were scarred for life, due to 1/3 of the European population being wiped out.However the Black Death gave the surviving people benefits. Most commoners' income was drastically raised by about 50%, and the medieval structure of serf and lord was obliterated. Many became merchants, had success, and ultimately paved the way for the Renaissance.
A possible antonym of serf could be "free person" or "freeman," as a serf is a person who is bound to the land and essentially owned by a lord, whereas a free person has autonomy and is not bound to servitude.
It fell apart because of things like the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death" or the bubonic plague ughhh i need other answers!
