The 1381 peasants revolt wasn't started by a particular person - a group of people got together because they were fed up of the unfairness and then other peasant's joined them until there were 60,000 of them!
The main leader of the revolt was a man named Watt Tyler

∙ 13y agoReally, it was a lot of reasons piled up on top of each other.
But the big, main, trigger reason was that The Hundred Years war was happening in France. Wars are expensive, so you need men - and money. England was heavily taxed - the poor paying the same as the rich. It was 5d for anyone over 15. The peasants in Essex attacked the poll tax collectors hen they came - thus triggering the revolt.
A couple of other reasons included the peasants being fed up of working for the lords of their manor, and the king being 14 and his advisers awful. The Black Death had also hit everyone hard.

∙ 13y agoThe immediate cause of the Peasant's Revolt was a poll tax which was inconsistently levied and unfairly enforced. It was intended to finance the Hundred Years War, and came at a time when peasants already had grievances, and so the was just the last straw, so to speak.
