Tudor Rebellions: Perkin Warbeck, Lambert Simnel, and Yorkshire Tax Revolt
Erin Keeney
@erinkeeney_eqra
Perkin Warbeck Rebellion (1491-99)
The Perkin Warbeck rebellion spanned eight years but consisted of brief, unsuccessful attempts to claim the throne. Warbeck impersonated Richard of York, gaining international support but failing to secure significant domestic backing.
Highlight: Despite support from Emperor Maximilian and James IV of Scotland, local support remained weak.
Example: The rebellion included failed sieges at Waterford and attempts to gain support in Cornwall in 1497.
Yorkshire Tax Revolt (1489)
The Yorkshire tax revolt emerged from economic grievances related to Henry VII's foreign policy. The revolt lasted one month and demonstrated regional resistance to national taxation policies.
Quote: "Yorkshire felt Brittany was not their concern as they had a poor harvest in 1488 which increased poverty."
Vocabulary: Subsidy - A sum of money granted by parliament to the crown for state needs.
Cornish Rebellion (1497)
The Cornish rebellion represented a moderate threat with 15,000 rebels reaching London's outskirts. This tax-based uprising stemmed from resistance to funding Scottish campaigns and changes to tin mining regulations.
Highlight: Rebels marched over 250 miles to London but were defeated at Blackheath.
Example: The rebellion's defeat at Blackheath held symbolic significance as the site of previous peasant revolts.
Quote: "Henry punished only the rebel leaders - all 3 executed - but levied large fines on the country."
Perkin Warbeck Rebellion (1491-99)
The Perkin Warbeck rebellion spanned eight years but consisted of several brief attempts rather than continuous uprising. Warbeck claimed to be Richard of York, gaining support from various European powers.
Example: Key supporters included Emperor Maximilian and James IV of Scotland, though local English support remained weak.
Highlight: The rebellion's impact led to diplomatic consequences, forcing Henry VII to negotiate treaties.
Lovell and Stafford Rebellion (1486)
This early challenge to Henry VII's rule represented a low-level threat aimed at restoring the House of York. Francis Lovell, a former councilor to Richard III, fled with the Stafford brothers after the Battle of Bosworth and attempted to raise troops against the king.
Highlight: The rebellion gathered minimal support, never exceeding a few hundred followers.
Example: Key supporters faced severe consequences - Sir John Conyers lost his Stewardship of Middleham and faced a £2000 bond.
Definition: Stewardship - An official position of authority and responsibility over an estate or territory.
Lambert Simnel Rebellion (1487)
This rebellion posed the greatest political threat to Henry VII's early reign, though it ultimately gained limited local support. The Yorkist pretender Lambert Simnel claimed to be Edward Plantagenet, challenging Henry's legitimacy.
Quote: "Simnel was captured but spared, his status as pretender made clear by being given a job in the king's kitchen."
Vocabulary: Pretender - Someone who claims a right to a throne or position of authority, typically without legitimate claim.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
