Books for further reading
All these books I have used in the design of this website, some are all about the Jack Cade rebellion, some mention him and others might give a background into the situation or just the general times/attitudes. If you want a book about the Jack Cade rebellion of 1450 I suggest choosing one of the highly recommended books.
