Some at least of the Germans and Italians were diverted from Scotland to suppress the rebellions Only Norfolk and Devon and Cornwall really required more than local forces for suppression.Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-13520440167879341542010-11-15T11:07:04.301-08:002010-11-15T11:07:04.301-08:00It was mentioned in the recent Michael Wood series...It was mentioned in the recent Michael Wood series on the Leicestershire village as apart of a general but unco-ordinated series of rebellions in that year. Not only the counties already mentioned but many others had uprisings of some sort including little old Rutland. It was a real crisis of the tudor state. Interesting that the tudors relied on a mercenary army to impose their will. Many of the radical ideas resurfaced during the ECW.keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551343571066684884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980135127858355520.post-50249128625965516032010-10-28T04:10:36.387-07:002010-10-28T04:10:36.387-07:00Its well worth a read.

There was also a series of risings in Norfolk and suffolk and unrest thoughout Nottinghamshire and Liecestershire.<br /> In Military terms is largly a forgotten episode yet the Devon and Cornish battles were hard fought encounters.Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.com
