History has a way of repeating itself. In this episode, I'm joined by Matthew Lewis to explore just that. While the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 may seem like a distant event, its echoes resonate with issues we face today. We'll also draw fascinating parallels to the Tudor era, particularly the Pilgrimage of Grace, and uncover the recurring patterns in these historical uprisings.
