Bond Men Made Free: Medieval Peasant Movements and the English Rising of 1381 | 
so-soBond Men Made Free is all about providing context for the Wat Tyler Riot: so much context, context that reaches back a couple of centuries and extends across Europe. But he devotes a scant 7 pages devoted to the riots themselves. A lot of what Hilton has to say here is interesting -- he has a particular interest in social class -- and I'm glad I read the book. But I wished to learn a little more about the uprising itself.
