After the plague hit, people started to die. The lords, bishops and all the important people of Medieval Society began to fall. This weakened the hold they had on the peasantry and serfs, who were peasants bound to their lord. Peasants began to demand payment for their otherwise "free" crops. If their lords did not pay, the peasants could simply move to someone who would pay double their last offer. They could do this due to the fact that the numbers of peasants minding fields were dwindling. This helped lead to the end of the feudal system.
