   Major Events and Transformations
   Key moments that shape the perception of the Middle Ages include the Viking Age, the numerous Crusades, and the demographic shock of the Black Death in the mid-14th century. The plague is estimated to have killed between 30% and 60% of Europe’s population, leading to severe labor shortages that fundamentally altered the power dynamics between laborers and landlords, accelerating the decline of serfdom in many regions.
