➔ Third part
◆ Describe: What was the Black Death?

● The Black Death was a deadly plague that swept through Europe
between 1347 and 1351.
 ◆ Explain: How did the Black Death contribute to the decline of the manor
system?
The Black Death contributed to the decline of the manor system due to the significant

reduction in the workforce caused by the plague. Additionally, the surviving peasants and

serfs faced increased demands for their labor, leading some to migrate to growing cities.

◆ Elaborate: Why do you think the Black Death was able to spread so quickly
through Europe?
● Because in the middle ages, Europe was the most populated continent,
which means more disorder, that is, more chances of contagion.
