The plague killed off many of the peasants who worked the land, leaving s shortage of labour for the Barons who ruled their fiefs. As there were now fewer of them, the peasants, carpenters, and masons could demand higher wages for their hire, and lower rents. Prices fell, and in the new economic climate, the rising survivors found a profit. This included increasing their land holdings that people had once owned and building stone cottages to replace the wood and mud dwellings they had known as children.
In 1351, while the plague was still present in England, the King introduced a new law, the Statute of Labourers, in an attempt to fix rates and wages, but market forces pushed them up regardless. Peasantry found a new economic muscle, encouraging the protests that lead to the peasant's revolt of 1381. Thus the plague played a part in hastening a gradual change from feudalism to capitalism.
