Both lowered the population of Europe.

Both lowered food supplies in Europe.
D
Both were caused by social unrest.

Both the famine and the plague caused many people to die, so each contributed to a decline in Europe’s population. The famine was linked to poor harvests, while the plague spread as a disease; they did not share the same direct cause.
