The Northern Rebellion of 1569 offers the first full-length study of the only major rebellion in Elizabethan England, in which a motley assortment of rebels fought under the banners of the Earls of Northumberland and Westmorland to secure the restoration of Catholicism and an older way of life. Addressing recent scholarship on the Reformation and popular politics, as well as telling a tale of intrinsic interest, it highlights the religious motivations of the rebel rank and file, the rebellion's unexpected afterlife in Scotland, and the deadly consequences suffered in its aftermath.
