The Northern Rebellion of 1569

This work offers the first full-length study of the only armed rebellion in Elizabethan England. Addressing recent scholarship on the Reformation and popular politics, it highlights the religious motivations of the rebel rank and file, the rebellion's afterlife in Scotland, and the deadly consequences suffered in its aftermath.

'This comprehensive and readable study acknowledges that religion was the crucial grievance that gave rise to the rebellion.' - James Kelly, The Tablet

'Krista Kesselring's new study of this revolt is therefore timely and welcome for scholars of northern history..a highly readable account.' - Maureen M. Meikle, Northern History

'...the clarity and accessibility of the prose will be appreciated by all readers.' - Peter Marshall, English Historical Review
