a. Weakened the system
The Black Death, which struck Europe in the mid-14th century, led to a significant decrease in the population. This labor shortage weakened the feudal system as serfs and peasants gained more bargaining power and began demanding better wages and conditions. As a result, many peasants moved away from the manors, leading to a decline in the rigid social structure of feudalism.
