Abstract
If Queen Elizabeth looked forward to a happy and peaceful year with her newborn son and family, she was sorely disappointed. The year 1487 brought military and political crises that forced the king to array his troops and fight an invading army. Ominously reminiscent of the last months of Richard III’s reign, an invading army threatened the crown. Unlike the minor uprising led by Lovell in 1486, this rebellion was fomented and funded by Yorkist descendants. Subsequently named after the 10-year-old boy exploited by adults to front their attacks, the hostilities have become known as the Lambert Simnel rebellion.
