Summer Of Blood Peasants Revolt Of 1381: Jones, Dan

The 1300s were rough in England. There's the plague; there's the 100 Years War, and there's serfdom. An interesting thing that happened after the Black Death killed 50% of the population was that workers were worth more - there were 50% fewer serfs, so they started to be asked to be paid more! That obviously wasn't going to fly with the Lords; you see if they paid their serfs more, then THEY would make less money, they the Lords, you see what I mean? They couldn't possibly.

This will lead to A LOT of heads on sticks, and a storming of London in 1381!
