Uprising
(2026)(The second book in the Tom Thatcher Medieval Chronicles series)
A novel by Paul Bannister
SOME ROSE FOR JUSTICE.
SOME ROSE FOR PLUNDER.
ALL OF THEM WILL ANSWER FOR IT.
JUNE 1381. A taxman is stoned out of an Essex village, and thirty years of quiet preparation come apart in a fortnight.
There’s Wat Tyler, an old soldier who wants a crown of his own. John Ball, the excommunicate priest who preaches that God made no man a slave. John Wycliffe, the Oxford scholar who would see the church stripped to the bone. Johanna Ferrour, who opens a lawyer’s throat in the street at Canterbury and goes looking for the next one.
And Tom Thatcher, the miller who hid the weapons and stockpiled the grain, and who can no longer stop what he started.
The gates of London are opened from within. The Savoy Palace burns. The Tower falls without a blow struck, and the Archbishop of Canterbury dies on Tower Hill under eight strokes of an axe.
At Smithfield, a boy king of fourteen rides out alone to face sixty thousand men.
And afterwards come the scaffolds . . .
Perfect for readers of Dan Jones, Conn Iggulden, Griff Hosker and Ken Follett.
