Backed by Margaret of York, Edward VI's sister, who wanted to get the House of York back on the throne, he made three attempts to invade and drum up support to help stake his claim. In 1495 he landed in Kent, in 1496 he tried in Scotland, and in 1497 he tried in Cornwall. All attempts failed and in 1498 he was captured. It was said that he had played the part for so long that he came to believe that he was Richard, Duke of York, right up to the time he was hanged.   All text, images and music samples on this site are copyright © Childe Rolande.
