The Peasant Revolt, also known as the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 in England, was a major uprising against oppressive socioeconomic conditions, particularly high taxes and feudal injustices. Triggered by the poll tax and fueled by grievances over serfdom and the aftermath of the Black Death, the revolt saw thousands of peasants marching to London, led by figures like Wat Tyler. The uprising ultimately ended in violence when Tyler was killed during negotiations, leading to the suppression of the revolt and the execution of many participants. Although it failed to achieve immediate reforms, it highlighted the deep social tensions of the time and laid the groundwork for future changes in class relations.

King Richard II was 14 years old at the time and had little involvement with the policy measures that led to the peasant revolt of 1381. The leader of the revolt - Wat Tyler - was however killed by his courtiers during a meeting with Richard. Richard II then allowed the othe peasant leaders to be pursued and executed. That ended the revolt and Richard during his lifetime did nothing to address the peasant's existing situation. The so-called Poll Tax - the reason for the revolt - had its name changed afterwards, but was not abolished.
