Product Information
During the Pilgrimage of Grace for a short time Henry VIII lost control of the North of England and there was a very real possibly of civil war. Protesting the king's betrayal of the 'old' religion, his new taxes, and his threat to the rights of landowners ' the poor and the powerful united against their king and his henchman Thomas Cromwell, raising an army of 40,000. The leader of the Pilgrimage was the charismatic, heroic figure of Robert Aske, a lawyer. Under his influence and persuasion most of the Northern nobility joined the rebellion and gathered for battle at Doncaster where they would have outnumbered the king'' soldiers by 4 to 1. But Aske had an unshakeable belief in justice and fair dealing, which was to prove his undoing. He was persuaded by the king's men to abandon military force and negotiate terms in London. Once there he was arrested, charged with treason and hanged in chains. Another 200 'pilgrims' were executed in the North as a 'fearful spectacle'. PILGRIMAGE OF GRACE is a sensational and tragic story set against a backdrop of medieval politics and religion.Product Identifiers

A story simply told
If you know little about this, this book puts it simply. You do need geographical knowledge of Yorkshire, a map would be useful to those that don’t know the area. But it goes to show how t’northerners could organise themselves on an issue that was important to them. It’s just part of a bigger Tudor story in the north after the death of Richard III that left the Tudor’s with a 100 year problem until 1569 and the Rising of the North in Elizabeth I time.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
