Date: 2011-01-07 01:17 pm (UTC)The two biggest threats to Henry VII came in the form of the two imposters named Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck. These two con artists both exploited the mysterious fate of the sons of Edward IV, the princes in the Tower. They masqueraded as the younger prince, Richard Duke of York, and claimed Richard's inheritance as a legitimate king of England. Lambert Simnel was the focus of the first conspiracy, which took place between 1486 to 1487. It seems that the powerful noble John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln, found an eleven year old boy who he could pass off as the Duke of York.
Lincoln probably planned to seize the throne for himself under the cover of apparently promoting the cause of the "Duke of York". Then bizarrely Simnel decided he would rather play the role of the young Earl of Warwick, who was being kept in the Tower. Even though the real Earl of Warwick was paraded through the streets of London it still suited some people to believe in the fantasy of the young pretender Simnel. Simnel was crowned "Edward VI" in Dublin Cathedral on May 24th 1487.
With Simnel in tow, the Earl of Lincoln crossed to England from Ireland with a rebel army. This force was massacred by the royal army at the Battle of Stoke on 16th June 1487. In contrast to Simnel, Henry had won his battle for the throne, but recalling that he was outnumbered two to one at Bosworth, he could easily have suffered the same fate as Simnel. It is remarkable how the story of Simnel parallels Henry VII's own. Simnel and Henry Tudor were supported as pretenders to the throne by people who used them as convenient tools. Just as it suited John de la Pole to support Simnel's invasion, it had suited the Lancastrians, and Charles VIII of France, to support Henry's invasion in 1485. Henry VII was a "real" king, but he was also Lambert Simnel writ large, as indeed are all kings.
