Peasants didn't want to be villeins, or servants to their lords anymore. They wanted to be freemen, and they went to the king because they thought he would hear them, but he didn't.

Peasants felt that the taxes for wars had nothing to do with them, and refused to pay them. and another cause was: John Ball and other priests spread the idea peasants were just as good as the lords and the black death (many peasants died and they became more valuble they bagan to ask for more money/land in return for work and then they passed a new law to say peasants could not be payed more than before the black death), the king was only 14 and his advisors were useless.
