The Black Death. The peasant revolt (1381)

The Black Death was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1328-1350. The Black Death killed about 30-60% of Europe’s population.

The peasant’s revolt was one of revolts in late medieval Europe, and is a major event in the history of England. The revolt marked as the beginning of the end of serfdom in medieval England. It increased awareness in the upper classes for the need for the reform of feudalism in England and the misery felt by the lower classes as a result of their near-slavery. The revolt was over when John Ball was hanged.

Henry VIII

Henry VIII (1491 – 1547) was King of England from 1509 until his death. He was also Lord of Ireland (later King of Ireland) and claimant to the Kingdom of France. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII. Besides his six marriages, Henry VIII is known for his role in the separation of the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. He ruled with absolute power. His desire was to provide England with a male heir, because he believed a daughter would be unable to consolidate the Tudor Dynasty. Henry is famously remembered for having six wives—two of whom he had beheaded. Henry declared himself supreme head of the church in England in 1534. This, combined with subsequent actions, eventually resulted in a separated church, the Church of England.

Queen Mary I

Mary the first was the Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 1553 until her death in 1558. She was the eldest daughter of Henry VIII. She was the fourth monarch of the Tudor dynasty. During her ruling she decided to restore the Catholic Church in England and reconstruct monasteries. So a lot of Protestants were executed to death. About 300 people were murdered. All this cruelty brought to the Queen a nickname “Bloody”. She was married to Philip, the son of the King Charles V. In the year of 1558 he died, and as she didn’t have any children her successor was her half-sister Elizabeth I.
