We wunt be druv
"We wunt be druv" is the unofficial county motto of Sussex in southern England. It is a Sussex dialect phrase meaning "we will not be driven". The motto asserts that people from the English county of Sussex have minds of their own, and cannot be forced against their will〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sussex won't be druv )〕 or told what to do. It is used as a motto of the people of Sussex and the Sussex Bonfire Societies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newick Bonfire Society )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cliffe Bonfire Society )
==Origins==
According to the 2006 ''Oxford Dictionary of Phrase and Fable'', "Sussex won't be druv" is a local proverbial saying dating from the early 20th century. A magazine from 1810 references Mr 'Wunt-Be-Druv' while the 1875 ''Dictionary of the Sussex Dialect'' stated that "I wunt be druv" as a "favourite maxim with Sussex people". Although used all over Sussex, the phrase probably originates from the Weald, and there is evidence that in Wealden areas common people were freer from manorial control than in the rest of Sussex. Twice in the late Middle Ages Wealden peasants rose in revolt: once in the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, under the leadership of Wat Tyler and the radical priest John Ball, and again in 1450 under Jack Cade, who was pursued and fatally wounded at Old Heathfield, where he had connections. The phrase "I wunt be druv" is mentioned in EV Lucas's 1904 book Highways and Byways in Sussex (1904).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Highways and Byways in Sussex/Robertsbridge )
