The Cornishmen had every right to rebel. Henry VII revoked long standing laws exempting Cornwall from various taxes, and refused to negotiate. Cornwall was being bled dry to pay for a war that did not concern it in the least. I don't see how anyone can blame them for what they did.
Thank you for clarifying. For an American, it was difficult to imagine a Cornish Rebellion very near London. I love the way you always seem to be so cheerful, no matter the subject. The Downfall of Anne Boleyn is about the only time this year that your cheerfulness has lapsed. Your joyful energy is contagious in drawing so many of us in to be part of the story of history as well.
I'm always happy when the day's video involves Henry VII. Was there ever another King who was so obsessed with keeping track of every shilling he spent? That's not a type of behavior that was common among most medieval Kings. Most of them grew up as heirs in environments where men flattered them and money was no object. Henry VII grew up mostly in exile where he could trust nobody, and had no guarantee that he would ever even come close to being King. If he wasn't careful with money at this time he would never have been able to pay the army he needed to invade England. This habit of frugality stayed with him for the rest of his life, which I find admirable. He is my favorite English King of all time precisely because he had to earn it himself. His prudence seemed to carry over to the battlefield, as I can't find any proof that he ever actually fought at any of his battle victories, whether they be at Bosworth field, Stoke field or Blackheath. Do you know of any sources that contradict this Claire? Did he actually ever use his sword at these battles?
I'm not sure whether there was another king who was so financially astute. I remember when I was at school studying the Tudors and our teacher said that Henry VII earned it and then Henry VIII spent it!
I agree! I've become quite fond of Henry VII too, for similar reasons, & I'd like to learn more but you mostly hear about Bosworth, so I'm also happy when Claire does a video about him or his reign :)
There was always SOMEBODY unhappy about SOMETHING. (And this rebellion showed up on In the Shadow of the Tower. One of the better episodes, no longer on TH-cam.)
🇭🇲🦘 (viewed 6/6/2021) Very well explained - all about this Rebellion and the Battle. Whilst a fascinating account also very sad to hear of all of those who died. Whether during the battle or by execution afterwards. .. "Thank you" Claire 👑👍
Thanks again for another awesome video! The rebellion didn’t got the way the rebels wanted. I wonder what would have changed had they won. I love getting daily doses of Tudor history!
I am glad you have talked a bit about happenings during Henry VII reign... he gets overshadowed by his son & granddaughter. He did like to tax...that made him quite unpopular! Thank you Claire!
As much as I admire Henry VIIs shrewdness and the overall success of his reign, I do think he squeezed the people too hard financially and he wasn't liked for it. I can't blame the cornish for saying enough's enough and marching to London, I admire their courage.
Despite this defeat, the Cornish rebelled again in September of the same year. Finally, in 1508, an act of royal pardon gave them veto over laws made in London, increasing the autonomy that already existed.
the tudor dynasty had a massive influence on ireland (the reason there's a northern ireland today is because of a war that unfolded during the reign of queen elizabeth), have you covered that?
Lady clarie, instead of rebellion, is their a way they could have petitioned for the an audience with the king to discuss their issue?? Or at this time was it pointless? Thanks again for informative video🇬🇧😉🇬🇧😉🇬🇧😉🇬🇧😉
The situation must have become quite unbearable for the Cornish people, for such an extreme measure as rebellion. They knew what the outcome was going to be if they were not successful. Am I mistaken, or was there very little recourse for the people to express themselves to the reigning monarch?
Why was the June 16th video marked as private? :( I enjoyed it immensely and was actually about to use it to see if one of my ancestors had battled/perished in the battle.
@@anneboleynfiles no hate to the English people but we have been occupied for a 1000 years it's about time if they can't kill our culture by now it will never happen
I really would NOT have enjoyed being hanged, drawn, and quartered at all! Yes, I have a morbid fascination with such things, but don't especially enjoy even watching fictional reenactments of it. What a yucky way to leave this world!

Tudor times were very unhappy. Thank you for teaching me something new every day , Claire!

I do love Tudor history, but, yes, Anne's fall always has an impact on me.
Thank you! This is very helpful for starting A Level History

Except with Henry VIII! 😉 💰 🤭
Thank you.

Oh, if only i had a time machine. Mr an gof would have found a mysterious shipment of cannons...

I think only decisive action worked in those times.

👍🏻
We still want independence
I don't blame you!

As I understand it, Henry VII loved his money regardless of war and taxes the common folk to death.
Geddon to the people of early modern kernow, at least we tried and fought
oh shalll trelawny liiiiive!!!

I don’t think I’d rebel if I were a Tudor haha
Great video. The rebels were put down as they should have been.
Well, yes, a king had to stamp on rebellion, but their situation was sad.
You must be some sort of neo-reactionary monarchist.
