Aristocrats

Jump to: navigation, search

Aristocrats were as susceptible to plague as commoners, even thought their diets were richer, houses made of stone, better access to medical care. The only advantage they have over commoners was mobility, as they possessed multiple residences. They also had friends and family to take them in for places that seemed to not be in path of the plague or plague already hit.

Aristocrats were hit hard economically and socially. Their status, wealth, and power rested in their lands. They needed people to work their lands, people often fled out of the path of the plague or nearest cities.
