During the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 in England, the king's advisors played a crucial role in shaping the government's response to the uprising. They initially underestimated the severity of the revolt and believed that it could be quelled through negotiation and concessions. However, as the situation escalated, advisors urged King Richard II to adopt a more aggressive stance, ultimately leading to the suppression of the rebellion through military force. Their decisions significantly influenced the outcome of the revolt and the king's approach to dealing with discontent among the lower classes.
