The year was 1381. The English government had failed its lower classes time and again with repressive labor laws and high taxes, and the peasants had had enough. In an unprecedented outburst of force, the peasants revolted against their leaders in a bloody march on London, burning buildings and killing government officials.
The movement didn’t end there, though; it spread all over England, with Richard II trailing behind to suppress it. This audiobook delivers the fascinating history of this historical event that forever changed not just British history, but the world’s history.

This book describes the background history of the revolt, the living conditions and attitudes. It names the leaders of the revolt, includes famous quotes of the time, a summary of the marches and raids. It describes the consequences of the revolt for the people, the elite and the country’s domestic and foreign politics.
The writing illustrates the attitudes between the classes throughout this era and touches upon wider issues that gained a footing after the revolt.
The narrator has a pleasant voice and reading style. He maintained my interest in the writing, he is American so pronounces some of the towns with an American accent but it detracts nothing from the book.
I will look for more audios by this author and would happily listen to this narrator for hours on end.
Excellent, concise, comprehensive.
