No. Wat Tyler was killed before the battle at Billericay. He had met with King Richard II and William Walworth, Mayor of London, at Smithfield on the evening of 15th June 1381. At the meeting, King Richard asked Wat Tyler and his rebels to leave London. Tyler said he would leave if the King met his demands - such as the end of the tithe system, the abolition of bishops, the redestribution of weath, equality for all before the law and the freedom to kill animals in the royal forests. William Walworth became agitated at these demands and pulls out his sword and after waving it around a bit, trying to intimidate Wat Tyler into leaving, ends up stabbing Wat Tyler and killing him. Having been given a load of promises and a charter agreeing with many of their demands by the King the day before, the rebels obey King Richard's instructions to leave and return towards Essex. However Richard had never meant to honour his pledges and sent his army, led by Thomas of Woodstock, John of Gaunt's youngest brother, to crush the rebellion. The last stand in the Peasants' Revolt was at Billericay, where the rebels, pursued by the King's army, fled into Norsey Wood where after a battle they were killed on 28th June 1381.
