At the end of the English Peasant’s Revolt of 1381, King Richard II told the survivors:
“Villeins you were and villeins you will stay – not as before, but worse. Your slavery will be an example to others.”
You can almost feel the sputtering indignation. How *dare* they think they could overturn the feudal order. How *dare* they think they could ever be anything but slaves.
