King Richard II was 14 years old at the time and had little involvement with the policy measures that led to the peasant revolt of 1381. The leader of the revolt - Wat Tyler - was however killed by his courtiers during a meeting with Richard.
Richard II then allowed the othe peasant leaders to be pursued and executed. That ended the revolt and Richard during his lifetime did nothing to address the peasant's existing situation. The so-called Poll Tax - the reason for the revolt - had its name changed afterwards, but was not abolished.

In the 1700's they had Feudalism. This set it up into classes. Going from, peasant, to knight, to lord/Noble, to king/queen. :D hope that helped!
King Richard the Lionheart
Richard Stockton, who was a lawyer from New Jersey recanted his signature on the Declaration of Independence. He was captured by the British and tortured until he plead allegiance to the King.
Loyalists were usually rich colonists and patriots were usually poorer colonists so they didn't treat each other fairly. Loyalists looked down upon Patriots as if they were happy with the king and Patriots needed freedom to get rid of all the British taxes. This caused a problem in the American Revolution because not all Americans were on the same side.
