The Black Plague was a huge epidemic that occured in the 1300's in mostly Asia and a little of Africa. When it hit people the Plague would infect the blood at times or the body which would mainly be the toes or fingers since that is where people were bitten the most. Usually the Plague would infect and kill people in a few days since it would destroy many vital organs in people which for example would be glands that when infected would swell and burst causing death for anyone infected. As the population died off the king of that time was losing power as more people wanted more equality and since the king could not just call someone out and have them executed and had no say anymore he had to agree. As the plague spread the Bishop and the church began to wither as people believed less and less in them. Even though the church had less followers some still believed but thought that the plague was a sign that God was mad so they whipped themselves until they bled. As the population decreased the economy suffered greatly. Since the people died in large amounts, more people were needed to work as merchants and tradespeople. The King needed more of these people because most of these people died due to the fact that they were in cities. []

As you can guess people during the plague were not social because they thought that interaction might infect them. []
