Consequences caused by the Bubonic Plague
One of the consequences of the plague was the increased persecution of Jews in Europe. The persecution rate increased due to Europeans blaming the pestilence on the Jews. Although it was impossible for Jews to have anything related to pestilence in places like England, people still made Jews group up and burn in a ditch.

Another change that the plague brought was landscape. During the plague, the lower classes were more affected by the pestilence as rats were more likely to not be in stone castles. This ultimately caused the Peasant Revolt in 1381 because the living condition given to the peasants by their lords was terrible. Later in the plague, the remaining population of the peasants received much more from the lords. This was due to the decreased population of peasants and the increased demand for them. This may or may not have contributed to the rise of capitalism.

The Religious Changes brought by the Plague
The Bubonic plague brought a lot of changes, one of which led to the separation of the Church. The plague wasn't really huge in the 16th century during Luther's time. However, when it was big the Church failed to explain the plague which ultimately contributed to the creation of Protestantism.
