The Peasant's Revolt of 1381 was a major uprising in England, driven by widespread discontent among the lower classes. Factors such as high taxes, particularly the poll tax, and harsh living conditions fueled anger against the ruling class. The revolt was led by figures like Wat Tyler and saw thousands of peasants march to London demanding reforms. The rebellion began in Essex and quickly spread, culminating in a march to the capital. Although the revolt initially gained some ground, it was ultimately suppressed by the government. The aftermath led to increased repression, but it also highlighted the struggles of the lower classes in medieval society.
