Life in the UK Test 24
What proportion of the population died as a result of the Black Death in England?
Correct Answer: One third of the population
The Black Death (bubonic plague) arrived in England in 1348 and spread rapidly across the country.
It killed approximately one third (around 30–33%) of England's entire population — an estimated 1.5–2 million people.
The scale of death caused severe labour shortages and contributed to major social and economic upheaval, including the beginnings of the breakdown of the feudal system.
