Rare card · No. 55057

Sir William Walworth (died in 1385) was an English nobleman, politician, and a member of the Fishmonger's Guild in London. During his years as a political figure, he served twice as Lord Mayor of London (1374–75 and 1380–81) which led to much of his fame from today as the man who killed Wat Tyler (Leader of the Peasants' Revolt of 1381). This act was responsible for massively hindering the revolt.
