‘The Uprising’: Christianity Is Key to Understanding the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, Historian Dan Jones Says

Historian Dan Jones joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss The Uprising (R) and the remarkable true story behind the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. Jones explains why ordinary people rose up against England’s ruling class and how Christian beliefs helped fuel the rebellion. He also explores the role of priest John Ball, whose teachings challenged the social order and called for a society rooted in specific religious principles. Jones explains how the revolt influenced politics and why its themes of injustice, upheaval and ordinary people demanding a voice still resonate nearly 700 years later.
