From Cornwall to Blackheath Perkin Warbeck and the 1497 Rebellion in the South-West
A Talk by Des Atkinson
In the words of Thomas Penn, 1497 proved to be a terrible year for Henry VII. Rebellions against Henrys rule, with his taxation policy a particular target of public enmity, threatened to topple him. The rebellion in the south-west of England was especially serious, and that celebrated pretender to the throne, Perkin Warbeck, played a very prominent role. This talk will examine the events of that year with a focus on Warbeck and his contribution. The city of Exeter was an important centre of the action during the uprising, and the events here and their details will be illustrated. Some time will also be taken to discuss Warbecks subsequent fate.
Refreshments included.
