Answer 2

Beginning in 1350, a major drop occurred in the English population.

The primary cause for this drop was Black Death.

It was a deadly disease that reached England in around June-August 1348, and spread throughout the country with rapid pace.

Over the next couple of years, around 30-40% of English population succumed to the disease.

In London alone, 30,000 out of 70,000 people died, thus giving a sharp drop in the country's population.
