The Jack Cade Rebellion of 1450
The Jack Cade Rebellion calendar of 1450
Eventually, when I have finished creating this website, there will be a clickable calendar to find find out what on that day in the year of 1450. Until its fully developed you will have to rely on the links below.
I have to advise/remind the casual visitor that this was at a time when the Julian Calendar was used. The Gregorian calendar didn’t start being used until 1582, and England was a little slow on the uptake and we didn’t change ours until 1752. So for a while, you could leave France on a 10 hour journey and arrive back several days before you technically left!
If the below lines seems vague it because they are just notes for me and have yet to be written!. But feel free to glance over the dates and you’ll note most things happened in June and July.
