Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Black Death reached England in June 1348, when a seaman arrived at Weymouth, Dorset, from the English province of Gascony. The Grey Friars' Chronicle places the arrival shortly before the Feast of St. John the Baptist on the 24th of June 1348, though the actual landing may have occurred around the 8th of May.
Estimates range widely depending on the historian and method used. Early 20th-century estimates placed mortality around 20 percent, but more recent scholarship accepts 40-60 percent as the figure. A 2004 study by Ole Jørgen Benedictow proposed 62.5 percent, which for a population of around 6 million would equal approximately 3,750,000 deaths.
The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 arose largely from resentment over the Ordinance of Labourers (1349) and the Statute of Labourers (1351), which fixed wages at pre-plague levels despite a severe labour shortage created by mass deaths. Rebels from Kent and Essex marched to London, burned John of Gaunt's Savoy Palace, and killed the Chancellor and Treasurer, demanding the complete abolition of serfdom.
Physicians used bloodletting, forced sweating, induced vomiting, and urged patients to urinate to purge the disease. Sweating medicines included Mithridate, Venice-Treacle, and Bezoar-Water. Swellings were treated with pigeon feathers or live split pigeons applied to the wound, or with cupping therapy. Some physicians believing God sent the plague prescribed confession and prayer instead of physical treatment.
The Black Death contributed to a shift in English literature by reducing the number of teachers proficient in French, which helped advance the use of vernacular English. This contributed to the late-14th-century flowering of English literature represented by writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer and John Gower. Cathedral building at Ely and Exeter was also temporarily halted, and the shortage of skilled labour helped accelerate the transition from the Decorated to the Perpendicular architectural style.
The Black Death returned repeatedly after the initial 1348-49 outbreak. The first recurrence in 1361-62 killed around 20 percent of the population, and the plague of 1369 killed an estimated 10-15 percent. The disease continued to return at intervals of five to twelve years through the 14th and 15th centuries. The final major outbreak was the Great Plague of 1665-66, which killed 100,000 people in London alone.
