This documentary is part of a series that describes wars, battles, and revolutions that were turning points in Western history. Vol. 6 draws on large scale battle re-enactments and accurate reconstruction of first-hand accounts to depict a decisive moment in British history. In 1381, struggling with the Black Death, social change, and a hated poll tax, peasants staged a three-week revolt.—Paul Gerard Kennedy
