  • Power, government and religion

Description

In this unit, pupils learn about the differing interpretations that exist regarding the causes of the Peasants' Revolt. They will examine the impact of the Black Death on England alongside the short-term causes of the uprising.

This unit uses and builds on the previous unit, enriching pupils' knowledge of the impacts of the Black Death with a longer term focus in the English context. It also develops pupils' understanding of the sources of power in medieval England that they built in earlier year 7 units. This unit prepares pupils for the next one, where pupils look at further instability in medieval England.

  2. The Statute of Labourers and the response to the Black Death

  6. The causes of the Peasants' Revolt

  • Pupils know that medieval peasants lived under a system known as feudalism.
