feb 23, 1554 - The Wyatts Rebellion

Description:

Wyatt's Rebellion was a limited and unsuccessful uprising in England in early 1554 led by four men, one of whom was Sir Thomas Wyatt. It was given its name by the solicitor at Wyatt's arraignment who stated, for the record, that "this shall be ever called Wyatt's Rebellion". The rebellion arose out of concern over Queen Mary I's determination to marry a foreigner, Philip II, Prince of Spain, and to return England to Catholicism and papal authority. The uprising failed, with consequences for the rebels that ranged from death to forgiveness.
Led to the execution of Lady Jane Grey and the arrest of the future Queen Elizabeth I who is imprisoned within the tower of London
