In which country was the popular preacher John Ball inspiring the peasant uprising?

John Ball was one of the instigators of the 1381 uprising (also known as Wat Tyler’s peasant uprising), which lasted from May 30 to November throughout almost all of England.

John Ball himself spread the ideas of social equality (his sermon at Blackheath is especially famous) and the religious doctrines of the professor and theologian John Wycliffe, on the basis of whose teachings the Lollard (formerly Wycliffe) movement arose.

After being captured at Coventry, Ball was put on trial and then executed (quartered) at St Albans on 15 July.
