This is a quick summary of the events surrounding the Peasants Revolt in England in 1381.
Back in the Middle Ages the Peasants' Revolt rocked England to its very foundations.
In this talk I introduce you to an event from medieval English history that is often forgotten but the impact was profound.
We look at the causes, in particular the Black Death & a Poll Tax introduced by the teenage king, Richard II.
Spontaneous risings started in Kent & Essex.
The rebels advanced on London and when they entered the city, they sacked the Savoy Palace (the home of the king's uncle, John of Gaunt). They then made for the Tower of London.
Meanwhile the leader of the Peasants' Revolt, Watt Tyler met King Richard II outside the city.
In one respect a brave act by the teenage king but he had no intention of keeping any promises he was forced to make.
During the negotiations, Watt Tyler was killed.
The Peasants Revolt 1381 was the beginning of ordinary people standing up for themselves in England.

My name is Chris Green ("The History Chap") and I am on a mission to share the amazing history of Britain so that we can appreciate where we have come from and why we are here.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or TH-cam animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: "Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!"
Just for the record, I do have a history degree and continue to have a passion for the subject I studied.

Nothing changes, that's why, in very recent times, our rulers imported labour, to quell our living standards. Tony (sir) being one of them. Peace be unto you.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I have never heard of this uprising before, it was an interesting story and the change in the wage structure. I never knew about the law to limit the ceiling of wages by the king. It shows you how power can work both ways in the monarchy, excellent work, my friend 👏 👍
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it
Indeed Sir I enjoyed your presentation thoroughly. More please!
Working hard on more videos. Released my latest one about an hour ago.
Yet another top notch delivery!
Thanks for watching
As always an entertaining and informative presentation Chris, thank you
Thanks for your support.
So ended the era of the "Pleasant Peasant" and thankfully so.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Economic History is a very interesting subject. LSE offers good training in this area.
Thanks for sharing
The free market is the very essence of supply and demand. Things will always work themselves out of the government would stay out of it. We have the same problem here in the states.
Thanks for adding an American perspective.

Well done thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Wonder what would have happened with a protest against the poll tax. Remember learning the basics of this at school but you went into more detail. Used to work at Barts loved it.
In fairness to teachers there is so much to cover and teenagers have other things on their minds apart from historical dates!
One of my ancestors, Sir Alan Buxhull, was the Constable of the Tower at the time, but I am not sure where he was during the revolt though!
That's fascinating. I wonder what he was doing?
I used to live near Sudbury in Suffolk and they still have Simon’s head
There is something very special about having history all around us in England. Often we don't appreciate it.
You just described the trucker protest in potties Ottawa
Strange how history repeats itself.
Thank you this was very interesting. When you say a tax of a shilling was that each month or what period of time did it cover?
Would need to go back to my notes that I made nearly 2 years ago.
The Fenchies had to say "Schild en Vriend" in Bruges.
Thank you for taking the time to post your comment.
I wonder if the Fobbing incident is where we get 'fobbed off' from?
Probably not but the context is there.
Initially I thought so too...but it seems that the phrase didn't come into use until a lot later and even then it seems to have Dutch / Flemish origins.
Shame, because your hunch is a much better story!
By the way, as a Spurs man, have you seen my video about the Tottenham Outrage? th-cam.com/video/WrLn4AhzYWQ/w-d-xo.html
@@TheHistoryChap shame, it would have been nice😆
No but ill certainly check it out.
Thanks for the vids👍
England needs another
Doubt it will happen.
I heard there was also a certain Margareth Thatcher trying the same thing.
History has a way of repeating itself.
👍
Thanks for watching.
The Tyler
Thanks for commenting
@@TheHistoryChap the Tyler plays an important role in masonry, I wonder if you might be able to make a video about thr masonic influence on the british military.

So the Peasants taking it out on Flemish merchants begs a question - Were there no Jews in London at that time? It seems like they're the usual target of angry mobs bent on slaughter and oooting.
Very good point. No, the Jews had been kicked out in 1290 by King Edward I. They weren't allowed back until the 1650's by Oliver Cromwell.
@@TheHistoryChap I wonder why? Then Cromwell killed the king, as in Russia, are you seeing it yet? Peace be unto you. PS. How many countries kicked the Jews?
look at taxes today its the same racket as back then, maybe worse, pay you fees for the privilege of being alive !
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
This is incredible ! We had the same thing happen on to us Jan. on 6th ! I can't believed this !
We did not have a peasants rebellion ! We had a Pheasants rebellion !
That's right Pheasants ! Hundreds of them . They smashed into our capital and made a mess !
Some how a Buffalo got in and I believe he did a # 2 in the halls and walls ? Buffalo are like that .
I love also how the King promised them everything and they say " Sure " ? " What Ever " ! Then they go home .
You need to write this stuff down and open a finger and seal it with blood ! Get in writing or get the Pope after them if all fails !
The Pope was like Batman ! No one touched him and when they needed help , whose ring did they kiss ? He even had a Pope Mobile back then !
Thanks for sharing your take on US current affairs.
