Henry VIII and the Pilgrimage of Grace

Clip on the rebellion mostly known as the Pilgrimage of Grace - the most serious uprising Henry VIII faced. The rebels demanded:

"the preservacyon of Crystes churche, of thys realme of England, the kynge our soverayne lord, the nobylytie and comyns of the same, and to the entent to macke petycion to the kynges highnes for the reformacyon of that whyche is amysse within thys realme and for the punnyshement of the herytykes and subverters of the lawes".



I have posted another clip on the rebellion:

However this video includes more on Robert Aske, one of the ringleaders. Upon hearing news that he had been condemned to death, Aske asked that he put to death before they quartered his body. It was instead decided that he would be hanged by chains in York.

The Duke of Norfolk had been the principal nobleman relied upon to suppress the revolt, and therefore he was placed in charge of the executions (which amounted to around 200). After the failure of Sir Francis Bigod's uprising which provoked Henry into seeking revenge against the rebels of the Pilgrimage of Grace, the King told Norfolk:

"You shal in any wise cause suche dredfull execution to be doon upon a good nombre of thinhabitauntes of every towne, village and hamlet that have offended in this rebellion, aswell by hanging of them uppe in trees, as by the quartering of them and the setting of their heddes and quarters in every towne, greate and small, and in al suche other places as they may be a ferefull spectacle to all other herafter that wold practise any like matter whiche we requyre you to doo, without pitie or respecte."

Yes, but for the Church of England, the monarch comes before God. Silly I know...

It aslo broke away from the Church Jesus ordered Peter to establish, the Holy Catholic Church.

@danny88101 Jesus built His church. Matthew 16:18

Littlemisssunnydale-thanks for the video. Yes, the guy who plays Henry VIII is too told and too thin.

[happybkwrm]

Did they actually believe that Henry VIII - HENRYVIII - would say, "Gosh, you're right and I'm wrong. Ooopsie. I'll just give up some of my power."

The guy had already broken from the Pope and set himself up as head of the Church to get rid of one infertile wife and murdered another (along with several innocent men) just to get what he wanted.

Thanx!

Absolutely, but the Church of England was to be headed by the monarch rather than the Pope.

danny88101 - no, the monarch does not supercede God in the CofE.
