well, the other answers have the first part...it did indeed kill between 1/3 to 1/2 of the population....now to the effects of this..

1. the lower population meant a concentration of wealth to the surviving members of wealthy families
2. lower and middle class families saw a rise in wages as the deaths of so much of the population caused a labor shortage.
3. because of the increase in wealth there was a renewed interest in art and architecture that helped contribute to the start of the Renaissance

It's said that 10% of Europe's population developed an immunity to AIDs as a result of their exposure to the Plague. I don't know how true that is, but I've read several articles about it.
