Answer:
Peasants' Revolt, also called Wat Tyler's Rebellion, (1381), first great popular rebellion in English history. Its immediate cause was the imposition of the unpopular poll tax of 1381, which brought to a head the economic discontent that had been growing since the middle of the century.Hundreds of rebels were hanged, including John Ball. Some historians believe that the revolt made Richard proud and over-confident, and that it made him rule in a way which led to his fall in 1399. The rebellion had frightened the rich, and made them realise that they could not push the poor too far.
