The Black Death (1349-50) killed about 1/3 of the English population. Laboring and merchant classes, which primarily spoke English as opposed to the French-speaking upper classes, grew in economic importance. For example, the number of French-speaking teachers decreased, sparking a need for English-speaking teachers and thus transforming the curriculum. The English language began to triumph as a result.
