Ultimate Decades Challenge: 1380 - 1390

* TW: This post contains mention of characters who died during pregnancy/childbirth.

A decade of poor luck and the revolt of the peasants has meant the 1380s might be our most brutal decade yet. In 1381, we lost the Wright and Smith household, as they were executed due to the Peasants Revolt. However, the main Brooker household has also seen a decade of prosperity, as they move into their new Merchant home in the Market Square and, eventually, find success in silk trading.

A Bloody Summer: The Peasants Revolt of 1381

The Peasants Revolt of 1381 was one of the largest revolts in English history and one that set fear into the court of Richard II. It presented many progressive ideals that helped shaped future rebellions in history! #history #blog #medieval

The summer of 1381 was a particularly tumultuous year in English history. Unlike many rebellions up to that point, the Peasants Revolt of 1381 was initiated by the lower classes. This revolt placed fear in the hearts of the English upper-class. Their ideas were progressive for their era, though their methods proved to be violent. I found this research to be fascinating and I noticed many common…

Do you have any good reading recommendations that touch on the Peasant's Revolt?

So for nostalgic/family reasons, I'm a fan of Charles Oman's the Great Revolt of 1381, even though it's over a century old at this point and doesn't reflect modern revisions to the academic literature.

For a more modern popularized account of 1381 that does incorporate some of the more recent additions to the literature, I'd recommend Juliet Barker's 1381.

The first acts of insurrection were staged by two Kent women: Joan Hampcok and Agnes Jekyn, in the spring of 1381.

When your history teacher thinks she's funny and makes the same joke when talking about 1381 Peasants Revolt.

Me: ...led by Wat Tyler

Her: What?

Me: Exactly

Then they seized a certain item of clothing (the costliest) – which we call a ‘jack’ – and hoisted it up on a lance as a target at which to shoot their arrows. And when they only did a little damage shooting forcefully at it, they pulled it down and rent it with axes and swords. Source: Medieval Arms and Armour, A sourcebook. Volume I

Margaret de Enges, the prioress of Norwich, was forced to give up the rent rolls of the house for burning by the mob in June, and Joan Colbrand's records room was plundered and she was beaten by a mob.

[Regarding the 1381 Peasants' Revolt]

"A crazy priest in the county of Kent, called John Ball, who for his absurd preaching, had been thrice confined in the prison of the archbishop of Canterbury, was greatly instrumental in inflaming [the peasantry] with those ideas. He was accustomed, every Sunday after mass, as the people were coming out of the church, to preach to them in the market places and assemble a crowd around him; to whom he would say, --

'My good friends, things cannot go on well in England, nor ever will until every thing shall be in common; when there shall be neither vassal nor lord, and all distinctions levelled; when the lords shall be no more masters than ourselves. How ill have they used us! and for what reason do they hold us in bondage? Are we not all descended from the same parents, Adam and Eve? and what can they show, or what reasons give, why they should be more the masters than ourselves? except, perhaps, in making us labour and work, for them to spend.

'They are clothed in velvets and rich stuffs, ornamented with ermine and other furs, while we are forced to wear poor cloth. They have wines, spices, and fine bread, when we have only rye and the refuse of the straw; and if we drink, it must be water. They have handsome seats and manors, when we must brave the wind and rain in our labours in the field; but it is from our labour they have wherewith to support their pomp.

'We are called slaves; and if we do not perform our services, we are beaten, and we have not any sovereign to whom we can complain, or who wishes to hear us and do us justice. Let us go to the king, who is young, and remonstrate with him on our servitude, telling him we must have it otherwise, or that we shall find a remedy for it ourselves. If we wait on him in a body, all those who come under the appellation of slaves, or are held in bondage, will follow us, in the hopes of being free. When the king shall see us, we shall obtain a favourable answer, or we must then seek ourselves to amend our condition.'"

The Peasants Revolt

This date in 1341 saw the birth of Wat Tyler, leader of the peasants revolt which took place in 1381. 10 things you might not know about Tyler and the Peasants’ Revolt.

[annablogsposts]

Whump idea: hundreds of years ago, peasants revolt against the upper class. A knight / noble / lord / prince was abducted, and was pretty much just an absolute punching bag for all of them. To the point where he’s just broken.

A farmer, or laborer or something, sees him and is just like “this is too far” and discreetly cares for him; giving him lots of water, giving him extra porridge, letting him sleep inside when no one is looking etc.

and the noble is initially distrustful after all he’s been through, but soon he becomes insanely grateful and feels indebted to him for this.

If anyone would like to write this, please do!! I’d love to read it :)

There were so many ways to die, and if the king should perish, who then would follow him? King Aegon himself, when asked, put forward his cupbearer, Gaemon Palehair, reminding the regents that the boy had “been a king before.”

As a bastard born of a whore, Gaemon counted for little in the court, so when Ser Gareth asked Lord Peake to make the lad the king’s whipping boy, the Hand was pleased to do so. Gaemon’s blood and Gaemon’s tears reached the king as none of Gareth Long’s words ever had, and His Grace’s improvement was soon marked by every man who watched him in the castle yard, but the king’s mislike of his teacher only deepened.

Two other women were named as leaders in official documents:

Londoners Matilda Brembole, and h r daughter Isabella, were at the firing of the Savoy Palace, they tore to pieces cloth of gold and silver and rich tapestries, broke up the rich furniture, crushed the Duke's plate, and ground his jewels and precious stones under foot. All that could not be destroyed was thrown into the river. When the work of destruction was over, the Savoy lay a smouldering ruin.
