The Peasants' Revolt in England in 1381 resulted in a series of significant but ultimately unsuccessful demands for social and economic rights. Sparked by oppressive taxation and economic hardships following the Black Death, the revolt saw peasant leaders like Wat Tyler demand an end to serfdom and more equitable wealth distribution. Although the rebels initially achieved some victories, such as meeting with King Richard II, the revolt was brutally suppressed. In the aftermath, harsh reprisals were enacted against the rebels, but the uprising highlighted underlying social tensions and contributed to the eventual decline of the feudal system in England.
