Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Black Death arrived in England when a single seaman reached the Dorset port of Weymouth in June 1348. The disease spread from this initial point to cover the entire country by summer 1349 before dying down in December.
Modern historians estimate that forty to sixty percent of the population died during the first outbreak of the Black Death in England. A 2004 study by Ole Jørgen Benedictow suggested a mortality level of 62.5 percent based on recent archaeological studies.
Doctors employed methods like bloodletting and forced vomiting to treat patients infected with Yersinia pestis bacteria. Some physicians skipped medical procedures entirely and encouraged confession and prayer, while others used live pigeons to draw venom from swellings.
A severe shortage of farm labor caused wages to rise sharply after 1348 due to the high death rate among the workforce. Landowners reacted with coercion and demanded wage controls through laws like the Ordinance of Labourers passed in 1349.
The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 occurred as government repression caused deep public resentment among lower classes over wage controls. Rebels burned John of Gaunt's Savoy Palace and killed the Chancellor before being pacified by Richard II around that time.
A serious recurrence struck England in the years 1361 through 1362 causing the death of around 20 percent of the population. Later epidemics returned at intervals of five to twelve years until the Great Plague of London killed 100,000 people in 1665.
