All the estimates for the post-1348 decline are highly conjectural: the first epidemic is variously estimated to have killed a fifth, a quarter or a third or more Europe-wide: other outbreaks followed for centuries, but the population is thought to have reached its nadir in the late 15th century. One problem is that population tended to recover between epidemics, only to be cut back again, so the number who died isn't the same as the overall decline. England is reckoned by some to have lost a half of its population over the whole period; some areas of Europe suffered far less. The total may have fallen from 80 million to 55-60m by the 1470s, with the biggest drop in 1348-53.
