Ned Ludd (/nɛd lʌd/)[1] is the legendary person to whom the Luddites attributed the name of their movement.[2]
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.
