https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Tyler

Wat Tyler (1341 or c.โ€‰1320 โ€“ 15 June 1381) was a leader of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England. He led a group of rebels from Canterbury to London to oppose the collection of a poll tax and to demand economic and social reforms. While the brief rebellion enjoyed early success, Tyler was killed by officers loyal to King Richard II during negotiations at Smithfield, London.
