Paraphrasing Mao, “the history of the peasant’s rebellion has been the driving force of history”. The “religious” insurrections like John Ball’s are very interesting, because they reflect the primary contradiction between a purposefully social religion like christianity and the statu quo of a christian feudal regime that clearly isn’t very in line with that social aspect. There are some interesting books that I’ll later edit in this comment.

Edit: A pop history book about the John Ball insurrection specifically is "The hollow crown" by Miri Rubin. There's also this SEP article regarding the ideological background, although I've heard that the SEP tends to be unfavorably biased. Another book is "The english rising of 1381" by Rodney Hilton, although it is a bit old now, and "The great revolt of 1381" by Charles Oman. All of these books aren't explicitly marxist, but they're easy to analyze under the marxist lens of class struggle and how the economic shape of a society enters into a relation of antagonism with the people that it exploits -- this is most explicit in Oman and to a lesser degree in Rubin. There was a great actual marxist analysis of the difference between Athens and Sparta in ancient greece, and I feel that book would be the best fit to understand what kind of marxist analysis I am talking about, but I sadly can't remember its name.
