@aperson5845 It lasted for a while. 13th century had been a period of crisis in western Europe. Basically while, during middle age, you could plow more land in response to demographic growth, in 13th century new land was no more available, and famine came. The black death reveted back the population to what was sustainable by the natural resources, and until 17th century, new waves of the plague periodically struck Europe at, on average, 25 years distance, almost stopping demographic growth. From mid 14th century to late 16th century, an European, provided he didn't die before for other causes, could expect to see two plague epidemics in his life.
