Jack Cade, the Captain of the Commons

Jack Cade, the Captain of the Commons,
romantic tragedy in blank verse by R. T. Conrad, produced in 1835. It was rewritten as Aylmere; or, The Bondman of Kent for Edwin Forrest (1852) and was published in both versions. The story is concerned with the Kentish rebellion of 1450, interpreted from a social and economic point of view, and takes liberties with history in the depiction of Jack Cade, or Aylmere, and his friends and enemies.
