Yorkist Threats- Henry VII
- Lovell's Rebellion
- What seems significant, is
that there was very little
enthusiasm at this stage for
a Yorkist rising in their
traditional heartlands
- Lovell managed
to escape from
the King's forces.
Humphrey
Stafford was
caught and
executed and his
brother (Thomas
Stafford) was
pardoned
- Stafford tried to
raise forces Henry
- Lovell tried to raise a
rebellion in Richard's
heartland of support
in the North Riding of
Yorkshire
- Led by Francis,
Viscount Lovell (a
supporter of
Richard III) and
Humphrey
Stafford
- 1st (minor) rising
against Henry in
Easter of 1486
- What seems significant, is
that there was very little
enthusiasm at this stage for
a Yorkist rising in their
traditional heartlands
- Lambert Simnel
- 10 year old son of
a baker, chosen
to play the part
of Edward, Earl of
Warwick
- Gained serious
backing- John de la
Pole (Earl of Lincoln)
fled from court of
the coast to the
court of Margaret of
Burgundy (France)
- Later that year,
Lord Lovell
joined them
- 2,000 troops and Michael
Schwarz (an experienced
commander, provided my
Margaret) sailed to Rendezvous
with Simnel in Ireland, where
there was strong support for
the conspiracy, including Gerald
Fitzgerald (who was upset
because Henry would not
confirm his position as Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland)
- On 24th May
1487, Simnel
was crowned as
King Edward VI.
The Archbishop
of Dublin
performed the
ceremony.
- Henry now had
the real
Edward, Earl of
Warwick,
exhibited in
London to see
- They persuaded
Margaret of
Burgundy to
support Simnel's
claim and to pay
for mercenaries
to invade
England
- Henry had plenty of
notice that a rebellious
conspiracy was being
panned and thus, had an
opportunity to plan a
response
- Reinstated Earl of Northumbria
(who led a large proportion of
Richard III's army in the Battle of
Bosworth) and also reinforced
coastal defence in East Anglia
- However, the rebels landed on the North West Coast
and crossed the Pennines in order to drum support
in Richard III's old heartland. The Yorkist gentry were
reluctant to commit themselves wholeheartedly...
probably waiting to see who was more likely to win
- Battle of Stoke
- Henry was not confident he could remember
too vividly how Richard had been double
crossed at Bosworth and feared that he
himself may suffer from the same fate
- However, his army was led
effectively by the Earl of Oxford
and the Earl of Lincoln was killed
in the battle
- Henry's victory was VERY significant. He had been faced with a crisis
which he had to overcome by a combination of shrewdness and
hard work, the organisational skills and leader of key supporters
and willingness of landowners
- He was relatively mild with his treatment of
many of those who had rebelled in the process
weakening to resolve of many Yorkists to oppose
him
- He also began to develop the
policy using bonds of good
behaviour to ensure well-
behaved landowners who
might otherwise face
financial ruin
- Tudor propaganda
suggests that the
battle was easily won.
In fact, the threats
posed by Simnel was
real- 4,000 rebels died
in the battle but so did
3,000 royal troopers
- Henry took Simnel in
to his own kitchens to
work as a Turnspit. He
later rose to the rank
of royal falcons.
- Henry was not confident he could remember
too vividly how Richard had been double
crossed at Bosworth and feared that he
himself may suffer from the same fate
- 10 year old son of
a baker, chosen
to play the part
of Edward, Earl of
Warwick
- Perkin Warbeck Imposture
- Irritation over 8
years and
claimed to be
Richard, Duke of
York. He was a
deluded pest
- He began his
impersonation in
1491
- It was his ability to attract
patronage from foreign
rulers, which transformed
him from an irritation to a
potentially SERIOUS threat. IT
DEMONSTRATED HOW
FRAGILE HENRY'S POSITION
WAS CONSIDERED TO BE BY
OTHER RULERS
- After a brief appearance at
the court of Charles VIII of
France, he was forced to flee
to the court of Margaret of
Burgundy where he was
trained as a potential
Yorkist Prince
- Warbeck's first attempt
to land in England proved
to be a fiasco....... Henry had
been informed by Sir
Robert Clifford. Warbeck
was quickly defeated and
fled to James IV of
Scotland
- The French were angry
with Henry, thus began
to encourage James IV to
join them in an invasion
- Later in 1492,
desperate to
avoid invasion,
Henry invades
France.
- During 1492-1493,
Warbeck was recognised
by Maximillian and
reappeared with Margaret
of Burgundy
- Warbeck with an army of
mercenaries, attempted to
land in Kent. Warbeck did not
land but his men were
arrested. He was found in
Haven in Scotland. James
allowed him to marry a
relative of his- Lady Catherine
Gordon
- France and Spain did not back him but James was
still determined to back him and support his plan
of invasion of England. It failed as the Scots were
forced to retreat (withdraw)
- Henry began to raise taxes to raise an army in Scotland. He faced a
SERIUS rebellion...... 10,000 armed men marched across the South West
- Henry's nobles did nothing to stop the rebellion. In September 1497, Warbeck
decided to use the Cornish unrest to his advantage.... He landed in Exeter and the
rebels fled to Taunton. Warbeck was caught and was sent to the tower
- He and the Earl of Warwick were both tried as traitors in 1499
and were both executed. Warbeck was hung and Edward, Earl
of Warwick was beheaded
- Irritation over 8
years and
claimed to be
Richard, Duke of
York. He was a
deluded pest
- de la Pole's
- Younger brothers of Earl of
Lincoln (Edmund and Richard)
- Henry was completely paranoid. Richard posed no physical threat to
Henry and had never done anything to pose a threat
- Henry had Edmund de la Pole executed and
although Richard Duke of York was still out
there, no action had taken place by him at all
- Richard was nicknamed 'The White Rose' but was killed fighting for the French forces at the Battle of Pavia
- Younger brothers of Earl of
Lincoln (Edmund and Richard)
