[Event] Second Cornish uprising of 1497 (Perkin Warbeck abt 7 Sep-4 Oct), Cornwall
Tree: AHP
Notes:
On 7 September 1497, Warbeck landed at Whitesand Bay, two miles north of Land's End, in Cornwall, hoping to capitalise on the Cornish people's resentment in the aftermath of their uprising only three months earlier.[31]
Warbeck proclaimed that he could put a stop to extortionate taxes
levied to help fight a war against Scotland and was warmly welcomed. He
was declared "Richard IV" on Bodmin Moor and his Cornish army some 6,000 strong entered Exeter before advancing on Taunton.[32][33] Henry VII sent his chief general, Giles Daubeney, 1st Baron Daubeney, to attack the Cornish and when Warbeck heard that the King's scouts were at Glastonbury he panicked and deserted his army.
Warbeck was captured at Beaulieu Abbey
in Hampshire where he surrendered. Henry VII reached Taunton on 4
October 1497, where he received the surrender of the remaining Cornish
army. The ringleaders were executed and others fined. Warbeck was
imprisoned, first at Taunton, then at the Tower of London, where he was "paraded through the streets on horseback amid much hooting and derision of the citizens".[34]
