from the book: ...commoners’ complaint that it would lead to the ‘utter undoinge of many thousands of poor people that now have right of common’. These Crown lands were to be rented to London merchant Edward Sewster and the royal jeweller Philip Jacobsen, partly in payment for the £10,000 debt that Charles had run up with his jeweller. The resulting commoners’ rebellion took a very specific form. They adopted the traditional form of public demonstration for shaming ‘nagging women’ or others thought to have breached customary codes of behaviour: the skimmington. A skimmington, otherwise known as ‘rough music’ or charivari, often involved a crowd parading around the locality banging pots and pans until they arrived at the house of the offending party. But here the ritual was inverted, although the element of festive release was common to both: the leaders of the Braydon revolt hid their identity by dressing in women’s clothes and calling themselves Lady Skimmington.
