The Peasants Revolt - pt 1

from Macabre London

England in the 14th century was in crisis.Famine had torn through the country in the first half of the century & extreme weather had battered the residents' properties, ports and farms causing widespread damage, taking yeas to recover from.The black death had swept over the world killing an estimated 25 million people globally and half of England's population overall.The feudal system was exploiting those surviving workers and capping wages and to top it all off repeated wars with France caused the king to pass on those costs to the population in the form of a poll tax.This poll tax was the final straw for the working people and contempt for the monarchy and the law makers began bubbling under the surface.When the king died and his 10 year old son took to the throne, the peasants knew what they had to do in order to convince the young boy that things needed to change.The only way to get what they wanted was to show their strength in numbers and march to London. However, this wouldn’t be a peaceful process, they wanted blood.Today on Macabre London, we uncover the story of the Peasants Revolt.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PATREON——————————-If you like the podcast and YouTube shows and would like them to continue then please support us on Patreon.www.patreon.com/macabrelondonThank you to our executive producer patrons - Amy, Barry, Bethan, Kate, Mary, Ren, Sam, Sarah and VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful $5 tier patrons...AlexisAshleyAndrewDavidDeniseGuillermoHelenJamesJenniferJoKathrynLucyMelanieRachelSSabrinaTseanbheanWendyAnd thanks to all other patrons too!ONE OFF DONATIONS————————————————You can make a one off donation to support the show via the PayPal link here:paypal.me/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST——————————————————please visit my Amazon wish list.http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @macabrelondonpodcastTwitter: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: [email protected]: www.macabrelondon.comSourceshttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Summer-Blood-Peasants-Revolt-1381/dp/000721393Xhttps://www.historynet.com/edward-black-prince.htmhttps://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Wat-Tyler-the-Peasants-Revolt/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Sudburyhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z93txbk/articles/zyb77yc#zb466g82 Hosted on Acast.

Dj Paulo Moreno Dj 🇬🇧 Sound selections born from a knowledge of cause could be a way to describe Paulo Moreno.Always connected to the music and entertainment industries, the artist had a late awakening to djing, but no less dazzling for that. It was in London that he embraced the DJ impetus and performed regularly in renowned clubs and events such as Fabric London, Fire, Área, Heaven, Club No65, Union, Egg, Coronet and the Summer Rites festival, but he didn't stop there. The following years witnessed Paulo traveling all over the world to delight all those who listen to him with his sets full of depth, versatility, and energy. Portugal brought him a residency at Kremlin nightclub who gave him international recognition, regularly playing alongside names like Dennis Ferrer, Steve Lawler, Mendo, Prok and Fitch, and Hobo, Alan Fitzpatrick, Anja Schneider, Dennis Cruz, Goncalo, Anna, just to name a few.🇵🇹 Seleções sonoras nascidas de um conhecimento de causa poderia ser uma forma de descrever Paulo Moreno.D CBS Radio Mystery Theater goldenclassics CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was carried by the NPR satellite feed. The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by a host (E. G. Marshall) who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of The Man in Black on yet another old time radio program, Suspense). As with Himan Browns prior Inner Sanctum Mysteries, each episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater opened and closed with the ominous sound of a creaking crypt door, accompanied by Marshalls disturbing utteran Innovation Zero 2023 Innovation Zero Innovation Zero exists to accelerate meaningful action towards a low-carbon economy and society, and our mission is to build and connect a global network of innovators, funders, businesses and policymakers.Hear from the thought leaders and pioneers that took to the stage at Innovation Zero 2023 to deepen your knowledge in the transformation to a low-carbon economy.You can find recorded versions of these sessions here: https://www.innovationzero.com/content-centreWe will return to Olympia London, from April 30 to May 1, 2024.

K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
