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 (1348–53) was catastrophic for Britain.
Around one third of England's population died from the disease — and similar proportions in Scotland and Wales. The death toll was so devastating that it fundamentally changed the social and economic structure of medieval society, leading to labour shortages, higher wages for survivors, and the gradual emergence of new social classes.
