Popular revolt and unrest in England during the second half of the reign of Henry VI
By I.M.W. Harvey
PhD Dissertation, Aberystwyth University, 1988
Abstract: The work is concerned largely with the revolt of Jack Cade in 1450 and with other associated risings which occurred in England during the period 1450-1456. It includes quite a detailed survey of the years 1449-1450, during which a crisis took place in Henry VI’s reign, a crisis which gave rise not only to Cade’s revolt but also to risings throughout southern England and East Anglia. Two underlying themes are the corruption of the court party associated with the Duke of Suffolk, William de la Pole, and the fortunes of the war with France.
