In 1348, a devastating plague arrived in England, killing up to half the population. This led to significant economic and social changes, such as lower food prices and increased social mobility, as fewer people were left to work the land. However, the government and nobility resisted these changes by implementing laws like the Statute of Laborers and sumptuary laws to maintain traditional social structures. These tensions eventually contributed to the Peasant Revolt of 1381.
