Peasants lived in close courters and experience unclean living conditions. When the black plague hit Europe no one knew exactly what was causing it and many believed it to be a punishment from God. Families took care of their sick and in doing so usually contracted the disease themselves. The reason the wealthy and the aristocracy were not as ravaged was because many of them chose to flee to the seaside to escape the chances of catching the plague. They simply left whereas the peasants could not and therefore were killed in greater numbers.
