Detailed explanation-1: -Due to the fact that so many had died, there were far fewer people to work the land: peasants were therefore able to demand better conditions and higher wages from their landlords. Many advanced to higher positions in society. Thus the Black Death was ultimately responsible for major shifts in the social structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the fourteenth century, the bubonic plague or Black Death killed more than one third of Europe or 25 million people. Those afflicted died quickly and horribly from an unseen menace, spiking high fevers with suppurative buboes (swellings).
Detailed explanation-3: -Bubonic plague: The incubation period of bubonic plague is usually 2 to 8 days. Patients develop fever, headache, chills, and weakness and one or more swollen, painful lymph nodes (called buboes).
Detailed explanation-4: -Those who had survived the plague began to enjoy higher standards of living as a result. While there was a significant improvement for many peasants, some sections of society did not benefit at all from the impact of the Black Death.
