There were three main causes of the peasants revolt.

1 - The poll tax: A new tax for everyone over the age of fifteen, which was five times the amount of usual tax.

2 - The results of the Black Death - Peasants had to do more work as there were less people because lots of people had died in the Black Death.

3 - Work service - Lords decided that if peasants wanted to rent land from them, they would have to work for a few days a week without payment or profit.
