Note 78 — Jack Cade, the Captain of Kent 1450
Reading edition
When, by order of the Privy Council, the Exchequer seized all Cade’s goods, these jewels were sold with the rest. They fetched £114, and a payment of £86 7s. was subsequently made to the Duke of York. So the crown made some profit on the transaction, but Malpas was unrecompensed.—See Devon’s Exchequer Rolls.
