The Rebellion of Lincoln

In February 1487 the existence of a pretender came to the attention of King Henry and his council. The next thing Henry learned was that he had been nursing a viper at his breast if you'll pardon the melodrama. Lincoln fled and he fled to Margaret of Burgundy in Flanders and there he was joined by Lovell, fifteen hundred nasty looking German mercenaries and a captain to command them skilled in war. And remarkably in May 1487 Lambert's seminal was crowned as Edward VI of England. But despite this the most noticeable sound as the rebels turned south towards London was the swishing of skirts.
