There's no mention in the article of the 1689 Bill or Rights. This is by far their most lasting legacy. It could be argued that the Watt Tyler revolution was the first appearance of Whiggism. It was certainly a poke in the eye for the Monarchy and the Catholic Church. Albigensianism in southern France, about 100ys later, was also a fight against the establishment monachy and church.220.244.74.138 (talk) 08:50, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
