The Peasants' Revolt, Tyler’s Rebellion, or the Great Rising of 1381, is one of a number of popular revolts in late medieval Europe and is a major event in the history of England.

Tyler's Rebellion is not only the most extreme and widespread insurrection in English history but also the best documented popular rebellion ever to have occurred during medieval times.

The names of some of its leaders, John Ball, Wat Tyler and Jack Straw, are still familiar even though very little is actually known about these individuals.Wat Tyler's Rebellion is significant because it marks the beginning of the end of serfdom in medieval England.

Tyler's Rebellion leads to calls for the reform of feudalism in England and an increase in rights for the serf class.
