What caused the Peasants' Revolt 1381 - taxes

The transcript discusses the largest popular uprising in England, driven by increasing tensions between the Commons and the nobility, exacerbated by poll taxes from 1377 to 1381. These taxes, intended to fund the King's foreign wars, were seen as unfair and ineffective, leading to widespread resentment and tax evasion. The third poll tax in 1381, at a higher flat rate, was particularly burdensome, causing many taxpayers to disappear from records. King Richard II's efforts to collect outstanding taxes sparked further unrest.
