The Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450 was an uprising of the commons of
England-most of whom were from Kent, Norfolk, and Essex-that
culminated in a battle on London Bridge. The rebel force, led by a
mysterious man known as Jack Cade, protested King Henry VI's
ineffectiveness as a leader, the over-taxation of the working
classes, the crown's failed attempts to secure French territories,
and the corrupt bureaucrats and church officials. This book
collects, for the first time, primary documents related to the
rebellion that have been translated into Present-Day English or
glossed for ease of reading. The sources included in this book
comprise the rebels' petitions, entries from medieval and early
modern chronicles, letters and formal correspondences, official
government documents, and political poems of the fifteenth century.
Students interested in urban history, popular rebellions, medieval
and early modern studies, legal studies, criminal justice,
Shakespeare, and artistic expressions of protest will find these
primary sources invaluable.
