642 years ago today, on 30th May 1381, the #PeasantRevolt started. My daughter learned about it at school recently (impressed they did this! Not sure whether it's part of the national curriculum?). I ended up watching this Tony Robinson documentary and thoroughly enjoyed it. What fantastic courage and organisation by #WatTyler and all #Revolution
