Cade

Jack Cade, a common man from Sussex led a rebellion against King Henry VI and his corrupt advisors in 1450. He was a hero to the ordinary small landowners of Sussex and Kent, who called him ‘John Mend-All’ for restoring order and justice.

However, his enemies caught up with him and he was mortally wounded by the Sherriff of Kent in Cade Street, Heathfield. 

The story of Jack Cade’s Rebellion was later dramatized by Shakespeare in his play, Henry VI and in other tales he can be see portrayed as a Robin Hood character.
