The Black Death, which swept through Europe in the mid-14th century, significantly impacted serfs by drastically reducing the population and creating a labor shortage. This shift allowed surviving serfs to demand better wages and working conditions, as their labor became more valuable. Many serfs sought to escape their feudal obligations, leading to increased mobility and opportunities for social advancement. Ultimately, the pandemic contributed to the decline of the feudal system and increased the bargaining power of the lower classes.

Everyone Will die unless there buboes don't Burst !
Cities began to grow, and serfs gained freedom.
Dude it killed 3/4 the population of Europe u figure it out
alot of serfs were dying so they asked for higher payment to their lords
The power in the Kings/Monarchs got diminished because feudalism ended after the black death. This means there was a rise in higher-class because they started to pay more for a servant considering most serfs/peasants were dying. therefore, power was basically demolished after the black death :)
No, the black death did not end the middle ages. The black death caused a lot of changes, some important, such as causing members of the nobility to try to tempt serfs to move onto their land and away from the land they were bound to. But the middle ages continued for another hundred years or more.
Black people
Europeans began questioning their faith in the catholic church
It wiped out the population of serfs, who were needed to grow and harvest the landowner's crops. Therefore, with no crops brought in, there was no income to keep the manor house going.
Because serfs and Peasants were paid more for work and therefor could in some occastions even overthrow a lord of a manor.
We do not know exactly how many died in the Black Death, but it might have been as much as half the people of England. It returned more than once, and kept returning until the seventeenth century. When the Black Death was over, there were not enough farmers in England. Serfs were supposed to stay on the manors where they were born, but with an insufficient number of workers, many lords tried to tempt serfs off the lands of their neighbors. They did this by offering a better deal than the serfs had previously had. This brought serfdom in England to an end in not very many years.
