64. Underdown, Somerset, ch. 7: these men were attacked as low-born, but it was truer to say that they were of lesser eminence than of no eminence. For other examples see Fletcher, Sussex, pp. 325–8; Coate, Cornwall, p. 221; Hughes, Warwickshire, ch. 9.

65. Underdown, Somerset, pp. 123–56; see, for example, Fletcher, Sussex, ch. 16, and, for the disruption of assizes, pp. 340-41; Bennett, ‘War and Disorder’, pp. 256–7 (Yorkshire); Hughes, Warwickshire, p. 170. This may have been less true of the towns; see, for example, John T. Evans, Seventeenth-Century Norwich: Politics, Religion and Government, 1620–1690 (Oxford, 1979), pp. 131–8 (and, after 1649, 182–97).

Both men were of gentry backgrounds, however.
