12 The Peasants’ Rebellion occurred mainly in Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridge, Huntingdon, Hertford, Middlesex and Surrey. See Edgar Powell, The East Anglian Rising in 1381 (Cambridge, 1896); for the ethnic character of this movement see Witney, The Jutish Forest, 186 (Walsingham: “totem illud Kentensium et Juttorum”). For Clarence’s Rising and Buckingham’s Revolt see E. F. Jacob, The Fifteenth Century, 1399-1485 (Oxford, 1961), 580, 625-26.

14 Lollardy was a movement that arose in the 14th century, and generally espoused doctrines of predestination, limited atonement, and consubstantiation. The social and theological attitudes of the Lollards were similar in some ways to those of the Puritans three centuries later. Lollardy was by no means confined to the eastern counties. But after its suppression it proved most persistent in East Anglia, Kent and the Thames Valley. For the distribution of leading centers of Lollardy before and after Oldcastle’s Rising in 1414 see Malcolm Falkus and John Gillingham, Historical Atlas of Britain (New York, 1981), 80; see also Claire Cross, Church and People, 1450-1660 (Glasgow, 1978); Kenneth W. Skipps, “Lay Patronage of East Anglian Puritan Clerics in Pre Revolutionary England” (thesis, Yale, 1971); J. D. Fines, “Studies in the Lollard Heresy; Being an Examination from the Dioceses of Norwich, Lincoln, Coventy, Lichfield, and Ely” (thesis, Sheffield, 1964).
