The 1381 Peasants Revolt in England had the obvious long-term cause of the unfair feudal system, but this was exacerbated by the impact of the Black Death (1348-50) which created a massive labour shortage and changed the economic dynamic in the peasants’ favour, despite the attempt by the government to artificially restrict wages (1351 Statute of Labourers). Overlaying this was an unpopular war with France, a weak boy King Richard II, and charismatic leadership in the form of John Ball and Wat Tyler.
It would be cool to run a fantasy version of this, especially within a very “medieval England/Shire” type setting such as Endora. I’m already seeing a dragon called Black Death!
