Présentation de l'éditeur
English history are so short, sudden, and dramatic as the great insurrection of June 1381, which still bears in most histories its old and not very accurate title of Wat Tyler s Rebellion .O nly 1a short month separates the first small riot in Essex, with which the rising started, from the final petty skirmish in East Anglia at which the last surviving band of insurgents was ridden down and scattered to the winds. But within i the space that intervened between May 30 and June 28,1381, half England had been aflame, and for some days it had seemed that the old order of things was about to crash down in red ruin, and that complete anarchy would supervene. To most contemporary writers the whole rising seemed an inexplicable phenomenon a storm that arose out of a mere nothing, an ignorant riot against a harsh and unpopular tax, such as had often been seen before. But this storm assumed vast dimensions, spread over the whole horizon, swept down on the countryside with the violence of a typhoon, threatened universal destruction, and then suddenly passed away almost as inexplicably as it had arisen. The monastic chroniclers, to whom we owe most of our descriptions of the rebellion Walsingham and his fellows were not the men to understand the meaning of such a phenomenon ;they were annalists, not political philosophers or students of social statics.

(Subject: The Wars of Religion to the Middle Ages) 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.
