Which of the following was one reason for the breakdown of the feudal order after the Black Death spread through Europe?
Ksenya-84 [330]

The correct answer is <u>(B.) Lord's could not hire enough people to work their land.</u>

Serfs’ hard work was relied on by the Lords' and the Barons hence people were willing to pay them to stay and continue slaving for them. However, the serfs class was hit hardest by the black death plague, the foundation on which feudalism relied upon was weakened then broken.
