<P> In the Somerset town of Bridgwater, revolt broke out on 19 June, led by Thomas Ingleby and Adam Brugge . The crowds attacked the local Augustine house and forced their master to give up his local privileges and pay a ransom . The rebels then turned on the properties of John Sydenham, a local merchant and official, looting his manor and burning paperwork, before executing Walter Baron, a local man . The Ilchester gaol was stormed, and one unpopular prisoner executed . </P> <P> The royal suppression of the revolt began shortly after the death of Wat Tyler on 15 June . Sir Robert Knolles, Sir Nicholas Brembre and Sir Robert Launde were appointed to restore control in the capital . A summons was put out for soldiers, probably around 4,000 men were mustered in London, and expeditions to the other troubled parts of the country soon followed . </P> <P> The revolt in East Anglia was independently suppressed by Henry le Despenser, the Bishop of Norwich . Henry was in Stamford in Lincolnshire when the revolt broke out, and when he found out about it he marched south with eight men - at - arms and a small force of archers, gathering more forces as he went . He marched first to Peterborough, where he routed the local rebels and executed any he could capture, including some who had taken shelter in the local abbey . He then headed south - east via Huntingdon and Ely, reached Cambridge on 19 June, and then headed further into the rebel - controlled areas of Norfolk . Henry reclaimed Norwich on 24 June, before heading out with a company of men to track down the rebel leader, Geoffrey Litster . The two forces met at the Battle of North Walsham on 25 or 26 June; the Bishop's forces triumphed and Litster was captured and executed . Henry's quick action was essential to the suppression of the revolt in East Anglia, but he was very unusual in taking matters into his own hands in this way, and his execution of the rebels without royal sanction was illegal . </P> <P> On 17 June, the King dispatched his half - brother Thomas Holland and Sir Thomas Trivet to Kent with a small force to restore order . They held courts at Maidstone and Rochester . William de Ufford, the Earl of Suffolk, returned to his county on 23 June, accompanied by a force of 500 men . He quickly subdued the area and was soon holding court in Mildenhall, where many of the accused were sentenced to death . He moved on into Norfolk on 6 July, holding court in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Hacking . Hugh, Lord la Zouche, led the legal proceedings against the rebels in Cambridgeshire . In St Albans, the Abbot arrested William Grindecobbe and his main supporters . </P>
