Question: What was the larger conflict surrounding the revolt led by Ralph de Gael?

<P0-S0>  He was the leading figure in the Revolt of the Earls, the last serious revolt against William the Conqueror. <P0-S1> Ralph de Gaël (otherwise Ralph de Guader, Radulf Waders or Ralph Wader) (before 1042 – c. 1096) was the Earl of East Anglia (Norfolk and Suffolk) and Lord of Gaël and Montfort ("Seigneur de Gaël et Montfort"). <SEP> <P1-S0> The Sparta earthquake of 464 BC destroyed much of Sparta, a city-state of ancient Greece. <P1-S1>  Historical sources suggest that the death toll may have been as high as 20,000, although modern scholars suggest that this figure is likely an exaggeration. <P1-S2>  The earthquake sparked a revolt of the helots, the slave class of Spartan society. <P1-S3>  Events surrounding this revolt led to an increase in tension between Sparta and their rival Athens and the cancellation of a treaty between them. <P1-S4>  After the troops of a relief expedition dispatched by conservative Athenians were sent back with cold thanks, Athenian democracy itself fell into the hands of reformers and moved toward a more populist and anti-Spartan policy. <P1-S5>  Therefore, this earthquake is cited by historical sources as one of the key events that led up to the First Peloponnesian War. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Revolt of the Earls in 1075 was a rebellion of three earls against William I of England (William the Conqueror). <P2-S1>  It was the last serious act of resistance against William in the Norman Conquest. <SEP> <P3-S0> The Harelle (] ; from "haro") was a revolt that occurred in the French city of Rouen in 1382 and followed by the Maillotins Revolt a few days later in Paris, as well as numerous other revolts across France in the subsequent week. <P3-S1>  France was in the midst of the Hundred Years War, and had seen decades of warfare, widespread destruction, high taxation, and economic decline, made worse by bouts of plague. <P3-S2>  In Rouen, the second largest city in the kingdom, the effects of the war were particularly felt. <P3-S3>  Tensions had been building nationally for nearly a year following the death of Charles V; on his deathbed he repealed many of the war taxes he had previously imposed. <P3-S4>  With the re-imposition of the taxes months later, a localized revolt led by Rouen's guilds, occurred in the city and was followed by many similar such incidents across the kingdom. <P3-S5>  Charles VI traveled with an army led by his uncle and regent, Philip the Bold Duke of Burgundy, from Paris. <P3-S6>  Paris itself revolted shortly after the army left the city. <P3-S7>  After returning to Paris to deal with the rebels there, the Duke and King traveled with an army to Rouen to end the revolt. <P3-S8>  The leaders of the Harelle in Rouen feared execution on the scale that occurred in Paris, and resolved to not resist the army. <P3-S9>  Twelve leaders of the revolt were executed, the city's rights were revoked and it was put under the rule of a royal governor, and a fine of 100,000 francs was imposed. <P3-S10>  Despite the victory, the King was unable to re-enforce the taxation that prompted the revolt, and spent most of the next two years putting down similar tax revolts around the kingdom that followed the example of Rouen. <P3-S11>  The Harelle was one of many popular revolts in late medieval Europe, including the English peasants' revolt of 1381 one year earlier, all part of a larger crisis of the Late Middle Ages.
