The Peasant's Revolt of 1381 is examined through the lens of broader European class conflicts, highlighting the interconnectedness of peasant movements throughout the Middle Ages. Rodney Hilton argues that these uprisings were not isolated incidents but stemmed from shared economic and political conditions, reflecting an ongoing struggle between peasants and landowners. His analysis offers a comprehensive understanding of the revolt's significance within the larger framework of societal tensions during that era.
