Summary

"The rebellion against the Crown across the north of England in 1536-7 rates but a few lines in most biographies of Henry VIII. Yet the Pilgrimage of Grace, as the rebellion is known, almost toppled the King." "Geoffrey Moorhouse - who lives in North Yorkshire not far from where some of the rebels were eventually executed - has written a new account that emphasises just how close Henry and his chief henchman, the Lord Privy Seal Thomas Cromwell, came to losing control of the north of England."--Jacket.
