The poll tax was introduced to pay for the 100 Years War and was about one shilling per person, this was okay for the rich, but for the poor it was 3 weeks wages. The peasant's didnt like this, especially as this was just after the Black Death, and the statute ofLabourersmeant they couldnt even get more wages to pay for this, so they revolted.
