It started the end of May in 1381 when the men of Essex gathered at Brentwood, Baddow, and Colchester. The rebellion spread quickly in Kent between June 8 and 9. A pattern of destruction was established early with houses of Lords attacked and records of slavery, tax rolls, and judicial records burned. This is important because the document registered the rights of serfs and tenants as well as obligations. They broke open jails, castle dungeons, and dungeons in bishop's palaces. They forced gentlemen to take the oath. On June 10 they burst into High Mass at Canterbury and demanded that monks choose a new Archbishop. Unjust officers of the government were attacked. On June 11 the Essex men began to march on London and by June 12 the men of Kent were camped on Black heath and the men of Essex at Mile End. To the south the rebels numbered 30,000 with the same number to the east. In London there were about 30,000 to 40,000 sympathizers. By June 13 they were ready to meet their king, but when the meeting took place Richard asked the rebels what they wanted and they demanded he talk to the leaders on shore, but the Earl of Salisbury insulted the men and the barge that held the king was rowed away. As a result they marched into London and destroyed property. On June 16 a new meeting was agreed to between the rebels and Richard. The court had decided to agree to anything to make the rebels go home, but when they went home the promises would be void. Both sides agreed to meet at Mile End. Many of the peasants had gone home after hearing Richard's promises at Mile End on June 16, 1381, but he betrayed their trust the next day at Smithfield. The court wore armor and carried hidden weapons when they met with the leaders. When Richard was asked for the charters as promised at Mile End they attacked the rebel leader and killed him. They took his head and rode up to the rebels with it and the rebels realized they had fallen into a trap. The people were scattered and Richard declared that any promises made were null and void. There were pockets of resistance, but for the most part the rebellion was over.
