The Black Death had a big impact on England's farmers, and it wasn’t good:
Not Enough Workers: When about one-third of the people died, there weren’t enough workers left. This meant many jobs went unfilled.
Higher Pay Requests: The farmers could ask for more money for their work because there were fewer of them. But the people who owned the land didn’t always want to pay more, which led to many staying poor.
Price Rises: Because there were fewer goods to buy, prices started to go up. This made it hard for regular people to afford basic things.
To help with these tough times, landowners and the crown could offer fair pay and better working conditions. This way, life would be more stable for the farmers.
