Produktbeschreibung

In 1536, Henry VIII faced uprisings first in Lincolnshire, then throughout 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 to Henry's dissolution of the monasteries, but in this lively and colorful history, R. W. Hoyle uncovers the full story behind these dramatic and tragic events.
