The Wikipedia page says:
The Peasants' Revolt, also named Wat Tyler's Rebellion or the Great Rising, was a major uprising across
large parts of England in 1381. 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.
