Ned Ludd is the legendary person to whom the Luddites attributed the name of their movement. In 1779, Ludd is supposed to have broken two stocking frames in a fit of rage. When the \"Luddites\" emerged in the 1810s, his identity was appropriated to become the folkloric character of Captain Ludd, also known as King Lud or General Ludd, the Luddites' alleged leader and founder.<\/p>
<\/p>
Supposedly, Ludd was a weaver from Anstey, near Leicester, England. In 1779, after either being whipped for idleness <\/span> or taunted by local youths, he smashed two knitting frames in what was described as a \"fit of passion\".<\/p> By 1812, organised frame-breakers became known as Luddites, using the name King Ludd or Captain Ludd for their mythical leader. Letters and proclamations were signed by \"Ned Ludd\".<\/p> <\/p> In the dawning age of AI, I have created this tee as a tribute to idlers and folk who prefer to make things by hand.<\/p> <\/p> Ned Ludd was also a Nottingham based blues rock band circa 1974\/77 featuring Ian Belton (Guitar\/Vocals), Chris Syson (Bass), Paul \u201cBeano\u201d Summers (Keyboards) Vince Noonan (Drums) later Billy Hammond (Drums).<\/p>","metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"Ned Ludd is the legendary person to whom the Luddites attributed the name of their movement.
