#3. The disease came back again and again.

#4. The plague was more severe in urban areas.

2. The disease was named after the black pustules it raised on the bodies of its victims.

3. It first struck through the southern ports in direct contact with the Continent.

4. By 1349 the plague covered the entire British Isles, the northern isles of Scotland, and the western part of Ireland.

5. It killed about 35–45 percent of the English population in its first assault and was particularly devastating in cities due to overcrowding and poor sanitation.

6. The plague was not a one time occurrence but recurred with diminishing intensity into the 17th century. These recurrences made it difficult for the population to recover.

7. Depopulation brought economic benefits to those who survived, however. One striking testimony to the large population of England relative to its resources at the time is that most vacancies on the land caused by the plague’s first wave filled immediately.

8. Tenants were also in a favorable position to bargain on rents, as there was more land available than people to work it.
