The hook

50,000 ordinary English people marched on London in 1381. They held the capital for three days. Then the 14-year-old king lied to them.

Fact

After the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, no government in England dared to try the Poll Tax again for 609 years. The next time it was tried, in 1990, it brought down the Prime Minister.

Fact

A radical priest called John Ball stood on a cart at Blackheath and asked 50,000 people: "When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?" The crowd heard him. The world changed.

Fact

Within a hundred years of the Peasants' Revolt, serfdom in England had effectively died out. Not because the lords chose to free their people. Because they learned what happened when they refused.

Did you know that in 1381, 50,000 ordinary English people walked off their land, marched on London, and held the capital for three days? The king was 14. He promised them everything. Then he revoked every promise. proudofus.co.uk/stories/peasants-revolt

There's this story about the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. The rebels were defeated. Their leaders were executed. But the Poll Tax wasn't tried again in England for 609 years. When it finally was, in 1990, Britain marched on London again and brought down the Prime Minister. proudofus.co.uk/stories/peasants-revolt

Watched this short film on the Peasants' Revolt. A priest called John Ball stood on a cart at Blackheath in 1381 and asked 50,000 people, "When Adam delved and Eve span, who was then the gentleman?" Six hundred years later, the same question still works. Worth a watch. proudofus.co.uk/stories/peasants-revolt
