The great insurrection, otherwise known as the Peasants' Revolt, was led by Wat Tyler. A small riot in late May, 1381 led to ruthless suppression and the killing of Tyler. Sparked off by the first Poll Tax, there were many deeper causes. Oman argues in this seminal work that England, ruled by the boy-king, Richard II and incompetent ministers, was a hotbed of social and political grievances.
