Best Answer

(It was 1381, not 1831.)

After the Black Death of 1348-9, the population had been much reduced, and labour was more scarce. Labourers felt they could exploit this, by demanding higher wages. Landowners tried to resist the demands, and they were often the same people who collected unpopular taxes, usually to finance the endless wars in France. Events came to a head in 1381, although 'Peasants' Revolt' is not really accurate. Most of the leaders were townsmen, and relatively affluent.

The result was to bring an end to the serf system (effectively slavery). Labour became more mobile, wages were raised, and the tax-collectors were told to moderate their demands.
