resentment of foreign workers
Some started to advocate the creation of independent village communities, respecting traditional laws but separate from the hated legal system centred in London.
There was a moral panic about the threat posed by newly arrived workers in the towns and the possibility that servants might turn against their masters.[62] New legislation was introduced in 1359 to deal with migrants, existing conspiracy laws were more widely applied and the treason laws were extended to include servants or wives who betrayed their masters and husbands.[63]
