There are many myths and legends about the so-called Peasant's Revolt of 1381. In this week's livestream I introduce you to the main elements of this uprising. What was it really about, who was involved and, what were the repercussions?

Also this week, I announced a brand new tour for 2025! The Catherine Howard Tour is a 8 night/9 day tour with Catherine's biographer, award winning historian Gareth Russell!

If you love to travel history and the idea of doing so with eminent historians whilst staying in beautiful hotels, being taken everywhere in a luxury coach and not having to worry about any arrangements at all check out www.britishhistorytours.com on 5th June. Priority booking is open already to members of my Patreon, go to Patreon.com/BritishHistory.
