“I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore”*…

Your correspondent is headed into a melange of meetings (and their attendant travel), so (Roughly) Daily will be on pause for a few days. Regular service should resume on or around June 19. I’ll leave you with a (timely?) tale from the past…

“Steve” publishes a wonderful weekly newsletter, Dates With History. In a recent post he shares the story of Wat Tyler and the Peasants’ Revolt…

If you walked into Smithfield in the City of London in the small hours of the morning, you’d find the great Victorian iron-and-glass halls of the old meat market, traders hard at work while dazed club-goers spill out of nearby Fabric nightclub, uncertain for a moment what century they’re in.

A few steps away stands St Bartholomew’s Hospital—Barts—the oldest hospital in London still on its original site, patching people up since 1123.

On one of the blocked window bays of the hospital’s north wall, a memorial marks where the Scottish hero William Wallace was hanged, drawn and quartered in 1305, alongside remembrances of the Protestant martyrs burned here under Queen Mary between 1555 and 1558.

A third plaque, on another blocked window bay, recalls an event 645 years ago next Monday—15 June 1381.

That day, a man rode into Smithfield at the head of a rebel army and tilted the course of English history. The fact that he was dead before the day was out is beside the point.

His name was Wat Tyler…

[Steve explains the origins and workings of the feudal system in England, the (extraordinary) impact of the Black Death, the Poll Tax, the subsequent rise of peasant resistance, the Revolt itself, Wat’s demise, and the immediate aftermath. He concludes…]

… Wat Tyler enters the historical record on 7 June 1381 and exits eight days later, 15 June 1381, when he was executed. That’s his lot.

The revolt failed.

But the idea it carried—that labour had value, that taxation required some semblance of fairness, that the common man had rights—survived.

The Peasants’ Revolt echoed what the barons had done at Runnymede in 1215—confront a king and extract written concessions from him. Tyler’s rebels knew their history. Had they succeeded, those sealed charters would have amounted to a Magna Carta for the poor.

Over the three centuries that followed, the power of English rulers to do as they pleased eroded steadily. By 1689, the Bill of Rights made explicit what three hundred years had been quietly establishing—that rulers governed within limits they did not set themselves.

Wat Tyler hadn’t written that principle. But he had fomented one of its earliest and most violent proofs of concept.

There wouldn’t be another poll tax in England for six hundred years—until Margaret Thatcher introduced one in 1990 and was promptly removed from office.

History, it turns out, has a long memory for bad ideas…

(Trying to) hold power to account: “It’s 1381 and the peasants are revolting.”

* “Howard Beale” (Peter Finch) in Paddy Chayefsky‘s and Sidney Lumet‘s Network

###

As we ponder power, we might recall that it was on this date in 1939, at Hyde Park, that President Franklin D. Roosevelt hosted a luncheon for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of England. Despite his mother’s horror, FDR wanted to show the King and Queen an old-fashioned, American style picnic– featuring that most proletariat of dishes, the hot dog. In the U.S. to raise support U.S. for Britain’s cause in World War II, the royal couple at least appeared to enjoy the meal.

How Michael Urie and Lux Pascal prepared for a very queer 'Richard II'

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD:      For within the hollow crown
   That rounds the mortal temples of a king
   Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
   Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
   Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
   To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks,
   Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
   As if this flesh which walls about our life
   Were brass impregnable; and humored thus,
   Comes at the last and with a little pin
   Bores through his castle wall, and farewell, king!

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 165ff (3.2.165-175) (1595)

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD: For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
   And tell sad stories of the death of kings —
   How some have been deposed, some slain in war,
   Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,
   Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed,
   All murdered.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 160ff (3.2.160-165) (1595)

A quotation from Shakespeare

KING RICHARD: Not all the water in the rough rude sea
   Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.
   The breath of worldly men cannot depose
   The deputy elected by the Lord.
   For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
   To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
   God for His Richard hath in heavenly pay
   A glorious angel. Then, if angels fight,
   Weak men must fall, for heaven still guards the right.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 3, sc. 2, l. 55ff (3.2.55) (1595)

A quotation from Shakespeare

GAUNT: This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle,
   This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
   This other Eden, demi-paradise,
   This fortress built by Nature for herself
   Against infection and the hand of war,
   This happy breed of men, this little world,
   This precious stone set in the silver sea,
   Which serves it in the office of a wall
   Or as a moat defensive to a house,
   Against the envy of less happier lands,
   This blessèd plot, this earth, this realm, this England ….

A quotation from Shakespeare

GAUNT: His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
   For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
   Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short;
   He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;
   With eager feeding food doth choke the feeder;
   Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,
   Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.
