Cade's Rebellion(1450) Uprising against the government of Henry VI of England. Jack Cade, an Irishman of uncertain occupation living in Kent, organized a rebellion among local small property holders angered by high taxes and prices. He took the name John Mortimer, identifying himself with the family of Henry's rival, the duke of York. Cade and his followers defeated a royal army in Kent and entered London, where they executed the lord treasurer. They were soon driven out of the city; Cade's followers dispersed on being offered a pardon, and Cade was mortally wounded in Sussex. His rebellion contributed to the breakdown of royal authority that led to the Wars of the Roses. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Newman presents her analysis of Cade's rebellion as a coda to her chapter on the Pont Neuf, and the juxtaposition of the chapter and its coda raises questions about the nature of the comparative enterprise on which Newman has embarked. As a yeoman he was not just an in-between man straddling the worlds of gentry and non-gentry alike, but was a forest man, known to produce England's best archers but closely linked to the men who carried the local government at its lowest level, independent-minded and not afraid to remonstrate against royal authority - as happened in Cade's rebellion and the Pilgrimage of Grace. Thankfully for Coventry, Cade's rebellion fell apart mainly due to the savage behaviour of the rebels. |
