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. Following the Wars of the Roses, the Tudor dynasty took power in 1485 and centralized power while strengthening Parliament and decreasing the power of the feudal lords.[1]
