Today, 15th June, is the anniversary of the death of the leader of the 14th Century English Peasant's Revolt, Walter Tyler.
Six centuries later, who can remember the name of the ruling despots who felled him?
Richard II perhaps????
We have our own Wat Tyler now.
Tsk. No points, Junius. Try again.
But he was done to death, nevertheless - even if not immediately.And the deals he thought he had wrung out of the King, were all reneged on and came to nothing.This is not really a very good example, imho.
