The Peasants' Revolt
Also known as Wat Tyler's Rebellion, the Peasants' revolt appears to be a major uprising against Ruler's attempt to heavily tax the Commoners, but also a reaction to the socio-economic changes that have occurred following the outbreak of the black death.
The uprising, if not quelled, could lead to the sacking of the Tower of Target Location and the execution of several Country Adjective officials. The abolishment of the unpopular poll tax along with executing the rebel leaders may restore order, however, low-level unrest is likely to continue for several more years.

5342historical_info = flavor_eng.54.historical_info The Peasants' Revolt was a major popular uprising and is considered one of the most significant and widespread revolts in English history. Widespread poverty, heavy taxation, and the effects of the Black Death were contributing factors that had made life insufferable for the peasants, who were already struggling under a rigid feudal system. The revolt was eventually suppressed, with many rebel leaders captured and executed.
