The Untold Story Of The 1381 Peasants Revolt Peasants Revolt Timeline
video description
Superb, Thanyou Tony and crew. read Barbara Tuckman, if you havent alrealdy A Distant Mirror. Gives you a profound answer as to the legacy of that time. Very profound. Read this while on a Petroleum Geology Course in Maidenhead 1981, I truanted a bit, for Shell. My office at the time was next to the Savoy shown here and looked into the kitchens, yes Tony behind the facade its (was) pretty grotty. I grew up in London and lots we saw on this was my stomping ground, eg Tower Of London, London Eye, Strand etc. I have a friend who works as a barrister in those law courts. So cool. Great history. I now live in Sydney Oz. Auusies don't know it but this is what made them and their institutions. They dont realise how brutal and bloody their making was and take it for granted. To their peril, I think!

There's no way 60, 000 peasants would've ridden on horseback from Canterbury to London. Horses were a common sight, certainly, but there is no way that every man of them would've had access to one, and they certainly would've not had that many horses available. They'd have made the way on foot, most of them, and it's likely they stopped off at Maidstone (amongst other places) rather than travelling as the crow flies, because that is how travel was commonly done in the Medieval period; travel was done from place to place, you'd have a travel itinerary and at each stop, you'd ask for directions on how to get to the next, though in this case it would've likely been a long continuous column of men.

And it is written in the Torah. Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Numbers, and the New Testament how to educate people how to live in a clean rodent free life. But the Powerful hid scripture knowing the power they would lose if the serfs could read. Thus ignorance was their undoing. Not until the Gutenberg press 1436 and later 1776 that people were free from the Powerful over them, then the dawn of the 20th century with the advent of Progressive Big Government once again rears its powerful hand over the people. The world will enter a time when the powerful will once again Rule over us.

what was the point in showing all the modern butcher shops, chopping meat and ugliness at the start of your film? is that your socialist realism speaking? i guess it is, when you attack M. Thatcher whose programs laid the foundations for revitalizing the derelict, debt ridden, hobbled UK, making it an affluent, powerful and vibrant society it is today--by getting rid of the misguided socialists and their socialist realism. you would do a lot better as Baldric than a historian

9: 40, 12: 30 Wars = Tax goes in the pockets of the elites. nothing has really changed has it?
13: 36 Foot soldiers sent in to keep the people down by stealing money, goods, possessions from them, through taxation nothing's changed has it?
15: 27, 27: 15, 37: 30, 39: 19
Memorable names: Thomas Wooton, Sir Thomas Raven, Wat Tyler, John Ball, John Sumner, Robert Pearce.
48: 40 Overall hypothesis.

Tony is very big on his luvvy lefty politics and goes on about the life of the poor and downtrodden, but the way he grunts, moans, groans and whinges through all the associated physical tasks makes me think he wouldn't be welcome building wattle and daub houses or collecting birds eggs on a cliff. I think he'd be on his hind legs in the kitchen with the rest of them very quickly (Orwell reference)

This is one of the aspects that I so admire England for. Something very important happened here some 600 years ago that affects us to this very day, says the presenter as he is standing in the middle of a car park.
PS: And don't forget those radical colonists in the late 18th century who thought that they could rule themselves without the benefit of a monarch.

From the looks of the comments here, it might make more sense to be selling T-shirts that say 1381 or Remember the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 on them, than Timeline. I mean, people _might_ remember that it was timeline who made this wonderful documentary, but they also might not. Heck, for that matter, the JPEG preview image might make a better shirt.

You have filmed them on the wrong horses: they rode small Icelandic horses, Aka starter horses. Geoffrey Chaucer rode one on his Canterbury Tales. This is important because when they rode into townships on these strange beasts they also shouted incomprehensible slogans in a variety of brogues.
They were difficult to understand.

History Repeats itself. People desired power and control then, just as they do now. The new world order of you will own nothing, and be happy is converting back to serfdom. Where BlackRock and Amazon own everything and, you guessed it, the peasants own nothing.

great story, great to presentation.
Here in Croatia. For similar reasons, the peasants revolt happened in 1573, cruelly put down by the ruling Austrian monarchy.
The evolution of human consciousness. is so painfully slow.

I learned how to drive a stick shift on a 91 Ford Fiesta. My mom got it used when I was 13 or so 93/94. That car was still running in 2006 when she got rid of it. Three clutches and the thinnest doors I've ever seen on a car.

Blackheath where the peasants met up is the grave of thousands of victims of the Black Death. The graves would have been new in those days, the people who dug them could well have witnessed the peasants meeting there.

Ok, so how do you tell a virgin from a married woman by sticking your hand up her dress? At 41. 02 they measure in gallons AND liters. Do not believe all on the internet.

One of the most significant events in British history that is barely mentioned. Like the English civil war, the establishment would rather we forgot all about it.

The Knights Hospitalliers were not in Malta at this time so their headquarters wasn't there, they arrived the 1500s! But otherwise great documentary

They probably had a days warning from the time the messengers brought the news. They'd probably been on the road, the peasants, from Canterbury for days.

You can think of 100 riders starting the trip and 1, 000 ending it with the majority having joined on the way there, some traveling only a dozen miles.
