They didn't ask for permission. They took history by the throat.
Four rebels. Four centuries. One city that could not contain them.

In 1381, Wat Tyler led sixty thousand men on London and forced a teenage king to listen at swordpoint. Within days, Tyler was dead - and yet the fear he planted in the English ruling class never entirely left.

In 1305, William Wallace was dragged through the streets of London in chains, tried for a treason he refused to acknowledge, and executed with a brutality designed to end Scottish resistance forever. It had the opposite effect.

In 1605, Guy Fawkes crouched beneath the House of Lords with thirty-six barrels of gunpowder and a lit match. He failed. And yet five centuries later, his face is worn by protesters on every continent.

In 1912, Emmeline Pankhurst smashed the windows of Downing Street, survived Holloway Prison, endured force-feeding, and kept going. In 1928, women won the vote. Pankhurst died eighteen days later - just long enough to see it.Inside this volume:

  • The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 - the closest medieval England came to revolution
  • William Wallace's London execution and the myth it created
  • The Gunpowder Plot - what it actually was, and what it became
  • The Suffragettes' militant campaign and the long road to the vote
