5415historical_info = flavor_eng.55.historical_info Simon Sudbury was a religious figure who served as Archbishop and later chancellor during the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. During the revolt, a group of rebels entered London and attacked the Tower of London, which led to his capture and execution by the rebels. He became a target as a result of his association with the poll tax and other unpopular policies implemented during his chancellorship.
