Note 71 — Jack Cade, the Captain of Kent 1450

“These two bishops were wonder covetous men, evil beloved among the common people and holden suspect of many defaults; assenting and willing to the death of the Duke of Gloucester, as it were said.”—(A Chronicle of Henry VI). According to Gasgoigne—Loci e Libro Veritatum—the people said of Ayscough: “He always kept with the king and was his confessor, and did not reside in his own diocese of Sarum with us, nor maintain hospitality.”
