The Peasant's Revolt in England in 1381 would be a reaction to the effects of the Black Death.

The massive loss of life led to more economic opportunities for those who survived, with people able to charge higher wages for those who wanted their services. Laws were quickly introduced in the years after to try and control this wage inflation, fixing wage levels and forcing people to work when they didn't want to.

There were subsequent outbreaks of the Plague in 1361-64, 1368, 1371, 1373-75 with further legislation tightening labour over this period.

The revolt was crushed, but the tensions that led to it continued with a greater freedom in England of freedom of movement of labour.
