When Wat Tyler met King Richard II at Mile End in June 1381, he famously demanded the end of serfdom and greater rights for the common people. Tyler asserted that the king should consider the grievances of the peasants and called for reforms, declaring that the people desired justice and freedom. The meeting ultimately escalated, leading to a confrontation that ended with Tyler being killed.
