The History of the Black Death in England

In the 15 hundreds, like much of europe, england had started to recover from the black death. Another major factor in the growth of this sub culture was the overall growth and population. The people who worked in monasteries were all kicked out and forced to find some other way to make a living. Many moved to local towns and cities to find work, or to beg and steal if no work was available. According to some estimates, at least 30 % of the population lived at or below the subsistence level during that period.
