Did peasants lives improve or deteriorate during the 14th and 15th century?

Question

In what ways? 10 points to best answeeer

Answer 1

Generally improved as labor became scarce due to the emergence of the bubonic plague in 1348 AD  Europe.  Of course the nobility tried to keep the peasants down and refuse the peasants' demands for higher wages, but the  economic forces of supply and demand meant that surviving workers would be paid better than they had been prior to the years of recurring Yersinia Pestis (the "Black Death" or "Bubonic Plague") epidemics which struck every 15 - 20 years after 1348 - until ~1665 AD.

I'm writing specifically about European history which I believe was the intent of your question.
