Contrary to received opinion, revolts and popular protests in
medieval English towns were as frequent and as sophisticated, if
not more so, as those in the countryside. This groundbreaking study
refocuses attention on the varied nature of popular movements in
towns from Carlisle to Dover and from the London tax revolt of
Longbeard in 1196 to Jack Cade's Rebellion in 1450, exploring the
leadership, social composition, organisation and motives of popular
protest. The book charts patterns of urban revolt in times of
strong and weak kingship, contrasting them with the broad sweep of
ecological and economic change that inspired revolts on the
continent. Samuel Cohn demonstrates that the timing and character
of popular revolt in England differed radically from revolts in
Italy, France and Flanders. In addition, he analyses repression and
waves of hate against Jews, foreigners and heretics, opening new
vistas in the comparative history of late medieval Europe.
