The English Peasant Revolt of 1381 was a major uprising against the feudal system in England. It was sparked by high taxes, particularly the poll tax, and widespread discontent with the ruling class. Led by figures like Wat Tyler, the revolt saw thousands of peasants march to London demanding social and economic reforms. The revolt gained significant momentum, with protesters capturing the Tower of London and killing several officials. However, it was ultimately suppressed by the government forces. The aftermath led to some reforms, but many of the peasants' demands were not met, and the feudal system remained largely intact.
