Richard’s Ascension to the Throne

1376 The Black Prince (Edward of Woodstock) dies

1377 Edward III dies

This means that Richard II (the son of the Black Prince and grandson of Edward III) is now
king, at ten years old.

July 1377 Richard II is crowned king at Westminster Abbey

The day after Richard’s coronation, the Bishop of Rochester, Thomas Brinton, preached a
sermon to a noble congregation urging them to show loyalty to their child-king.

When Richard was young, the kingdom was mostly ruled by:
- John of Gaunt
- Thomas of Woodstock
- Numerous knights of the royal household

The Peasant’s Revolt

1381 The Peasant’s Revolt

The Peasant’s Revolt began because of outrage over:
- The Poll Tax (which John of Gaunt was blamed for)
- The lack of success in the war with France
- A growing class tension which had developed after the first outbreak of the Black
Death in 1347

The Peasant’s Revolt started in Essex, before protestors marched and converged in London,
demanding to speak to the king.

Richard acquitted himself, promising to grant the protestors:
- Charter of freedom
- Royal pardons

This generosity did not last, as within a fortnight, Richard:
- Revoked these pardons
- Witnessed the executions of numerous protestors

1347 The first outbreak of the Black Death in England, which was estimated to have killed
30% - 45% of the English population

The Poll Tax was a tax in which every adult was charged the same amount, regardless of
wealth. This is why it was the lower classes that were annoyed about the tax.
