The revolt had various causes, including the socio-economic and political tensions generated by the Black Death in the 1340s, the high taxes resulting from the conflict with France during the Hundred Years' War, and instability within the local leadership of London.

☯️The death of Edward III did not end the war with France, and taxation continued at very high levels. The poll taxes of 1377 (4d per head,) 1379 (the same,) and 1381 (12d per head) made the heaviest impact on the peasantry.
☯️One response to excessive taxation was evasion: the Poll Tax returns of 1381 imply a one-third drop in the adult population since 1377.Another response was resistance: London tax-collectors told the Exchequer that riots would erupt if attempts to levy the taxes were sustained.
☯️The rebels camped at Mile End fields (just east of London) 12 June 1381.
☯️Deprived of their leader and enticed by promises of pardon, the rebellion collapsed. John Ball fled, but was captured and executed (July 1381.)
