Visit the life of peasants in the wake of the Black Death. Experiencing economic hardship due in part to the feudal system, the poor organized the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, the first popular uprising of its kind. Beyond the revolt, this episode takes you to the dinner tables of everyday people, and to the anonymous cemeteries where they'd be buried.
