What is the name of the tax that the peasants had to pay to the church?
LucianNegru
The medieval Church levied a payment called circ-sceat in Old English, now called church-scot, which is technically a type of rent, not a tax, that went towards the upkeep of the priest. The Church also required a tenth of all produce or income on certain products - this was called a tithe (Old English teogoþa, a tenth).
In addition, it was expected that anyone being married or having a baptism or funeral service would donate a small sum to the altar - in reality this was a payment to the priest. In England this donation could be a single silver penny.

The Peasants' Revolt took place in England in 1381. They were upset when the nobles instituted another poll tax for them to pay.

What did the peasants revolt want?
All the angry peasats who wanted higher wages, lower taxes and an end to work service. There were around 100,000 (bigger than the World cup final) and their leader was called Wat Tyler, who was killed at Smithfield. Another important guy was the priest John Ball, who preached to the peasants that revolting was a good idea. After the revolt, he was hung, drawn and quartered - the quarters were sent to four different places and put on display. Hope this helps! Anon., 12, West Bridgford School
