may 30, 1381 - English Peasant Revolt
Description:
Taxes were also placed on English peasants to fund the war with France. They rose against the nobles and destroyed manorial records before being betrayed and killed by Richard II under the pretense of negotiations. However, the system of serfdom was disrupted and its presence disappeared by the 16th century.Image Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peasants%27_Revolt#/media/File:Jean_Froissart,_Chroniques,_154v,_12148_btv1b8438605hf336,_crop.jpg
