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. 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 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.
