What happened at the English Peasants' Revolt
The Peasants' Revolt broke out in England in 1381, sparked by resentment over a series of poll taxes and lingering feudal obligations following the Black Death's demographic upheavals. Led by figures such as Wat Tyler and the preacher John Ball, rebels from Kent, Essex, and other counties marched on London, attacking symbols of royal and clerical authority, including the Tower of London, and killing several officials. The young King Richard II met with the rebels at Smithfield, where Tyler was struck down by William Walworth, the Lord Mayor of London, and the king's attendants. The revolt was then suppressed and its leaders executed. It exposed deep social tensions, though historians debate how far it hastened the decline of serfdom in England.
