England, 1348. A third of the population did not survive it.

This free illustrated guide covers the Black Death's arrival in England, its rapid spread along trade routes and waterways, and the scale of mortality it left behind. It sets out the economic aftermath, the collapse of the manorial labour system, and the unrest that followed, including the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. It is designed as a single portrait poster: illustrated, sourced, and built to be kept.

What the poster covers

  • How the plague reached England and spread through its towns and countryside
  • The scale of mortality and the immediate social breakdown it caused
  • The labour shortages that followed, and how they reshaped the feudal economy
  • The path from plague to protest, ending in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381

Download it free, print it out, or keep it as a digital reference. It works as a wall poster, a revision aid, or a starting point for anyone who wants to go deeper into the period.
