  Hilton views the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 in the context of a general European pattern of class conflict. He reveals that the peasant movements that disturbed the Middle Ages were not unrelated outbreaks of violence but had roots in common economic and political conditions and in a recurring conflict of interest between peasants and landowners.
