Consequences- Black Plague

 * One of the biggest pandemics in history, killing 2/3 of the worlds known population.
 * Killed important people as well as peasants, such as the princess of Britain, and King Alfonso IV.
 * Made the Catholic church weaker, people started to question their faith.
 * Many more jobs were open to people who didn't have the opportunity to have them before.
 * A merchant class started
 * People started defying the government, peasants demanded rights and some even owned land.
 * Jews were burned, beaten, and killed because the Catholics hated the Jews for being 'Christ Killers' and because they were perceived as greedy people. This was because the Jews charged interest on loans because they were the only religion that could do so.
 * The Flagellants were people who walked around cities and countryside whipping themselves to atone for the worlds sins. They believed it would make God satisfied.
 * //Feudalism// played an important role. Since they only had lords and peasants, after the plague there wasn't much peasants yo serve their lords. The great plague started the end of Feudalism.
