The "Black Death" (the Bubonic Plague) put a premium on well bodied, able servants (the serfs). It's hard to maintain such a feudal system when thousands were dying every day across the continent, including soldiers and nobles. A plague free serf or servant was a highly desirable commodity. They began to be offered more for their work and labor. If the master didn't provide it, there were other lords willing to pay for their services. If anything, it began to improve the serf's and servant's lot in life.
