In June 1381, tens of thousands of English peasants and townspeople marched on London, seizing the Tower, executing the Archbishop of Canterbury, and forcing the teenage King Richard II to meet their demands. This episode follows the revolt from its origins in the poll tax rebellion of Essex and Kent, through the dramatic events at Blackheath and Mile End, to the bloody confrontation at Smithfield where Wat Tyler was struck down. We explore the role of the radical preacher John Ball, whose 'When Adam delved and Eve span' sermon challenged social hierarchy, and the complex figure of Wat Tyler himself — a former soldier and presumed leader of the Kentish rebels. We also consider the aftermath: the savage reprisals led by the king's justices, the parliament's repudiation of the promised charters, and the long shadow the revolt cast on English social relations. Drawing on chronicles by Thomas Walsingham, the Anonimalle Chronicle, and Jean Froissart, we piece together a vivid, grounded account of a week that nearly toppled the ruling order. #PeasantsRevolt #WatTyler #JohnBall #RichardII #PollTax #Smithfield #Blackheath #MileEnd #TowerOfLondon #AnonimalleChronicle #ThomasWalsingham #Froissart #Kent #Essex #1381 #MedievalEngland #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
