I will follow you.
After nearly half of the population was wiped out from the black death, taxes were raised. This led to misery. After years of being mistreated by the King, his nobles and landowners, the peasants of 1381 refused to pay the poll tax, which lead to attacks, ambush and assault. The situation soon escalated, and soon all of Essex's peasents joined up and rebelled
Those angry aimed their violence at those who where richer and more snobby than most which led to burnt houses, and goods stolen. They burnt some of the most important documents, books and papers, so that officials wouldn't know who needed to pay and who didn't. 60,000 peasants marched towards London choosing former soldier Wat Tyler as their leader. The gate keepers at London let the peasants in, as the rich abused them as well and they were tired of getting pushed and ordered around. Therefore, they betrayed the King, and joined the peasants' side.
The angry mob ran riot in London, burning everything in their path. King Richard, who was hiding away from all of the drama, decided to try to 'agree' terms with the peasants though he never intended to make any concession and his plan always prioritised his safety. Tyler told the King their demands - what a scene! Two such different men meeting and negotiating. Meanwhile the peasants broke into the Tower of London, and murdered the Archbisop of Canterbury and the King's treasurer: a great setting and enormous drama. The King promised to meet the peasant's demands if they promised to go home peacefully. Soon after, Wat Tyler made a fatal mistake by reaching for his sword, and was murdered. The King played his trick, the peasants went home, but the King then sent his men to kill any leaders of the rebellion.
