The Kingdom of England was a medieval and early modern state located on the island of Great Britain. It limited the power of feudal barons by largely relying on mercenaries rather than knights, which gave it a military advantage against France and other countries.[1]
History
The Black Death spread to Europe in 1348 and killed a third of the total population. Peasants led by Wat Tyler rebelled in 1381, made an alliance with sections of the urban population, and confronted the King.[1]
