Explanation
The primary cause for the rebels' aggression was the church's role as a major and oppressive landowner, which fueled widespread resentment among the common people. While the Lollards did advocate religious reform, and literacy was limited to clergy, these were not the main reasons for the rebellion's attack. The population was not largely pagan during this period.
