I started writing this, well over a year ago, on the assumption I was going to start the series on medieval revolt simply by debunking the trope that medieval peasants worked less due to saints' days or noblesse oblige. As I kept delving it occurred to me that the things that actually gave the peasants relief from their toil — their own organizing and revolt — had few solid summaries, especially ones that actually delved into their methods and tactics. As we've seen, there's a lot more there than just “the peasants got angry and revolted.”ArticleyesterdayPublic 0 0The fury of the rusticsSo my hope is that Pact and pike and The fury of the rustics may, in their own small way, help to even things out.
