1.5 million

________

1.5 million or so is as good an estimate as any for the initial attack of plague in 1348-49, but later outbreaks (while each on a far smaller scale in terms of mortality) may between them may have killed 2-3 million more by the time of the last major epidemic in 1665.


Nobody really knows how many people lived in England (or most countries) in 1348, so the loss of life is difficult to quantify. But the first epidemic is thought to have killed between one and two million. Later outbreaks were on a far smaller scale in terms of mortality but between them may have killed some 2-3 million more by the time of the last major one in 1665, though population recovered between attacks and increased from the late 15th century.
