England – The population of England, between 1.25 and 2 million in 1086, [8] is estimated to have grown to somewhere between 3.7 million [9] and 5–7 million, [1] although the 14th-century estimates derive from sources after the first plague epidemics, and the estimates for pre-plague population depends on assumed plague mortality, the ...
Although not a direct measure of population, the lay subsidy rolls of 1334 can be used as a measure of both a settlement's size and stature and the table gives the 30 largest towns and cities in England according to that report. [12] The lay subsidy, an early form of poll tax, however, omitted a sizeable proportion of the population.
England's population more than doubled during the 12th and 13th centuries, fueling an expansion of the towns, cities, and trade, helped by warmer temperatures across Northern Europe. A new wave of monasteries and friaries was established while ecclesiastical reforms led to tensions between successive kings and archbishops.

In the 1070s, London's population has been estimated at around 18,000. [5] The high point of London's population for this period is around 1300, when the population reached 80,000-100,000. [6] This was greatly reduced following outbreaks of plague in the 14th century, and London's population has been estimated at 40,000 in 1377. [7]

The 12th and 13th centuries were a period of huge economic growth in England. The population of England rose from around one and a half million in 1086 to around four or five million in 1300, stimulating increased agricultural outputs and the export of raw materials to Europe. [13]
