How did rich peoples lives change after the black death?

Answer 1

Aside from losses of friends and family, rich people lost servants and serfs to the Black Death. The result was a severe shortage of labor needed to raise food and provide for infrastructure. In England, members of the nobility began to raid each others manors for serfs, offering a better deal to those who would move.

Some jobs that rich people would have liked to see done were left undone because there was no one to do them. I would guess that maintaining hunting parks and flower gardens might have been examples, but I cannot say I have ever seen this in print.

One thing I have seen that people seem to forget is that immediately after the Black Death the people of all classes in Europe felt a powerful psychological drive to have children, with the result that there was a great need for attention given to the young. I have read (and unfortunately cannot remember where) that in some towns in England, five years after the plague ended, the median age was under five years old.

Answer 2

The surviving peasants had more land to grow crops, which earnt them more money. They thought they were stronger, because they survived the Black Death and were no longer afraid to stand up for themselves, to people more powerful than them.

Answer 3

population was less so the people that survived had a greater availability for jobs..so the economy rose.

Answer 4
