It seemed as if the revolt had been a total failure. But over the next century, the peasants received most of what they had asked for in 1381. First, Parliament gave up trying to hold down the wages. Then, more and more villeins became free from their lords. Week-work and similar duties were gradually given up. Peasants were soon able to rent land and work for payment. Life did improve... but sometimes you have to make a move and suffer, rather than wait a lifetime for someone else to do it. And that's just what the peasants did.
