Reports say that the king ordered him to lay hands on him so he stabbed him.
The lord mayor of London, Sir William Walworth (at that time) is reported to be the killer.
Wat Tyler is famously known for the peasants revolt, he was the leader of the Kent peasants. they where the first ones to kick off about the POLL TAX and wanting HIGHER WAGES etc. However, Wat was actually the peasant that worked for the local priest's' land. Wat Tyler died when he rode up to the king in Smithfeild, on a small horse he had stolen from the priest's, jumped down from his horse and turned to the king. the mayor of London let out a yell as he entered the knife into the flesh of Wat Tyler's back. he was stabbed only once, but the rest of the Mayor's men kicked and punched him until he was dead. it was a sad way to die. especially when he did not even achieve respect for the peasants either. hope this helps! RIP Wat Tyler.
Wat Tyler was the leader of the Peasant's Revolt in 1381 against King Richard II.
Yes, he had a son named Richard Tyler.
Wat Tyler may have been a hero to his followers in the Peasant's Rebellion, but would have appeared to be a traitor to his king.
The mayor of London is to blame for Wat Tyler's death in two ways. 1. Some people believe that the king told him to kill Wat Tyler. 2. Others think that the Mayor of London got angry with Wat Tyler as he was speaking inappropriately to the king.
He attempted to kill the king but the mayor got in the way. Luckily for the mayor he had armour on and was not harmed. So the mayor grabbed him and stabbed him several times. Then later beheaded him. P.S: His name is wat tyler not what
Wat Tyler died on June 15, 1381 during the Peasants' Revolt in England. He was killed by the Lord Mayor of London while negotiating with King Richard II.
The lord mayor of London, Sir William Walworth (at that time) is reported to be the killer.
Some reports of his encounter with King Richard II report that Wat Tyler was unarmed, and It is doubtful that Wat Tyler stabbed anyone. Other stories say he was insulted by Sir John Newton, a servant of the King, and attempted to stab Newton in retaliation for the insult, but was restrained and arrested by the Lord Mayor of London. He then may have unsuccessfully tried to stab the Lord Mayor, but was stabbed in return by the Lord Mayor and another of the King's servants. No verifiable account is known to exist.
