The document summarizes the causes of the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 in England. King Richard II was only 14 years old, making it difficult to govern, while the government was weak and taxes were introduced to fund the ongoing war with France. This tax, called the Poll Tax, was difficult for the poor peasants to pay, increasing their anger with their situation. John Ball was a poor man who preached against the lords and for the freedom of peasants. The accumulated frustrations of the peasants over their treatment by the lords, the war, taxes, and Ball's speech led to an uprising where peasants attacked and burned lords' houses.

1. King Richard II was only 14 years old so it was very difficult to
manage the kingdom and at the same time the government
was weaker so it was easier for the peasants to attack.
The English were at war with France so to pay for the war they
had to introduce Poll Tax. There were many peasants who were
poor so it was very difficult for them to pay and that made the
peasants more angry.
The Peasant's Revolt occurred in 1381, in London.
Approximately 20-30'000 peasants were revealed.
THE EVENT:
THERE WERE FIVE MAIN
CAUSES THAT CAUSED THE
REVOLT
THE KING
THE WAR
BAD LORDS
As the Black Death killed many people, there were hardly any
workers, so the lords made the peasants work very hard.
JOHN BALL
John was a poor man who hated the lords. He said that the lords
should give money to the poor and also John gave a speech that
mainly dealt with the freedom of peasants .

2. The peasants were tired and also hated being poor, working for
the lords, the poll tax and also the war. The fury they had
helped to provoke another large part of the revolt.
For each cause of the revolt there was a boom
in the peasants, so when these caused were
united in common it was what caused the
great revolt of the peasants.
