- Easter 1486

- Simultaneously, Stafford tried to raise forces against Henry, drawing upon another area of Yorkist support in the Midlands. Lovell managed to escape from the King’s forces

- Led by Francis Lovell and Humphrey Stafford
- Lambert Simnel + the rebellion of the Earl of Lincoln
- Following the Lovell rebellion, leading Yorkists realised that a change in strategy was needed if they were successfully going to get rid of Henry VII
- They needed a figurehead who could claim to be a Yorkist prince and needed the financial support to generate a significant military threat to Henry.
- Lambert Simnel was their figurehead, he passed as the Earl of Warwick and was crowned as King Edward in Ireland, May 1487
- In response Henry exhibited Warcwick in London for all to see.
- Lincoln fled from Henry VIIs court and joined Lovell at the court of Margaret of Burgundy.
- The Perkin Warbeck imposture
- In 1491 Warbeck began to impersonate Richard, Duke of York in Ireland
- he fled to the Court of Margaret of Burgundy, where he was trained as a potential Yorkist.
- Several years after the Battle of Stoke 1487, Warbeck’s first attempt to land in England in 1495 proved to be a fiasco.
- Warbeck was quickly defeated, and fled to the court of James IV of Scotland.
- It would be a mistake to write off the event with no chance of success. It could’ve proved very costly for Henry because the conspirators had an accomplice in the heart of Henry’s government, Sir William Stanley
- Henry was at his most vulnerable in the place where he should’ve been most secure.
- In 1496, a small scottish force crossed the border on Warbeck’s behalf but quickly retreated
- He failed to successfully invade England from Scotland in 1496, He made a final attempt to seek the English throne by trying to exploit the uncertainties created by the Cornish Rebellion in 1497, but his forces were crushed and he eventually surrendered to the king.
- he was later tried and executed
- He failed to successfully invade England from Scotland in 1496, He made a final attempt to seek the English throne by trying to exploit the uncertainties created by the Cornish Rebellion in 1497, but his forces were crushed and he eventually surrendered to the king.
- The Cornish Rebellion
- The Cornish uprising of 1497 was more serious but was caused by the same factors as the Yorkshire rising: Henry’s need for money and the subsequent parliamentary vote.
- the threat was from Scotland as James IV sought to aid Perkin Warbeck and invade the north of England.
- The rebels assembled in Bodmin in May 1947 and their numbers swelled as they marched throughout the country.
- The rebellion attracted 15,000 supporters, a sign of the unpopularity of the tax.
- Henry took no chances and assembled a royal army of 25,000 men which nearly crushed the rebel force of Blackheath in June 1497
- The rebellion was never a serious threat to Henry, only reaching London, because he was more concerned by the threat from Warbeck
- The Cornish rebellion suggested that twelve years into his reign loyalty to Henry was still limited.
- The Cornish uprising of 1497 was more serious but was caused by the same factors as the Yorkshire rising: Henry’s need for money and the subsequent parliamentary vote.
