Wat Tyler
Walter "Wat" Tyler (died 15 June 1381) was a leader of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt in England. He marched a group of protesters from Canterbury to the capital to oppose the institution of a poll tax. While the brief rebellion enjoyed early success, Tyler was killed by officers loyal to King Richard II during negotiations at Smithfield, London.
==Early life==
Reliable knowledge of Wat Tyler's early life is limited. Born with the first name Walter, his original surname at birth is unknown, though "Hugh" and "Helier" have been suggested.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Medieval Period: Politics - Wat Tyler and the peasants' revolt )〕 It is thought that the name "Tyler" comes from his occupation as a roof tiler. As the Peasants' Revolt arose in Kent, he has been variously claimed as coming from Dartford, Deptford, and Maidstone, all within that county.〔 Although he is famous for being one of the leaders of the 1381 uprising, a sixteenth-century source〔 indicates that a man of similar name, John Tyler, was its initiator. This account suggests that a poll-tax collector had indecently assaulted John Tyler's daughter. In revenge he killed the miscreant and triggered the insurgency.
