The Black Death (Bubonic Plague), which struck England in 1348, killed off a large segment of the labor force and made working people more aware of their own value and thus more disposed to stand up for their rights and oppose unpopular political acts. An incident in May 1381 over the 1377 poll tax brought things to a head and led to the Revolt. For more information, see this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peasants'_Revolt
