| Description: |
In 1536 Henry VIII faced rebellions in northern England. The Pilgrimage of Grace posed the greatest threat encountered by any Tudor monarch.The risings have traditionally been assumed to be in protest at Henry's dissolution of the monasteries, but in this lively and colourful history, R. W. Hoyle uncovers the full story behind the dramatic and tragic events of 1536-7. |
| Synopsis: |
This is the first full account of the Pilgrimage of Grace since 1915. In the autumn and winter of 1536, Henry VIII faced risings first in Lincolnshire, then throughout northern England. These rebellions posed the greatest threat of any encountered by a Tudor monarch. The Pilgrimage of Grace has traditionally been assumed to have been a spontaneous protest against the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but R. W. Hoyle's lively and intriguing study reveals the full story. Professor Hoyle examines the origins of the rebellions in Louth and their spread; he offers new interpretations of the behaviour of many of the leading rebels, including Robert Aske and Thomas, Lord Darcy; and he reveals how the engine behind the uprising was the commons, and notably the artisans, of some of the smaller northern towns. Casting new light on the personality of Henry VIII himself, Professor Hoyle shows how the gentry of the North worked to dismantle the movement and help the crown neutralize it by guile as events unfolded towards their often tragic conclusions. |
