He caused the monks and nuns to be reinstated, and refused to allow the See also:- KING

church. The whole country was soon in the hands of the rebels, a military organization with posts from See also:Newcastle to See also:Hull was established, and Hull was provided with See also:cannon. Subsequently Aske, followed by 30,000 or 40,000 men, proceeded towards See also:Doncaster, where See also:lay the See also:duke of See also:Norfolk with the royal forces, which, inferior in See also:numbers, would probably have been overwhelmed had not Aske persuaded his followers to accept the king's See also:pardon, and the promise of a See also:parliament at York and to disband. Soon afterwards he received a See also:letter from the king desiring him to come secretly to London to inform him of the causes of the See also:rebellion. Aske went under the See also:guarantee of a safe-conduct and was well received by See also:- HENRY

He put in See also:writing a full See also:account of the rising and of his own See also:share in it; and, fully persuaded of the king's See also:good intentions, returned See also:home on the 8th of See also:January 1537, bringing with him promises of a visit from the king to Yorkshire, of the holding of a parliament at York, and of See also:free elections. Shortly afterwards he wrote to the king warning him of the still unquiet See also:state not only of the See also:north but of the midlands, and stating his fear that more bloodshed was impending. The same See also:month he received the king's thanks for his See also:action in pacifying See also:Sir See also:Francis See also:Bigod's rising. But his position was now a difficult and a perilous one, and a few See also:weeks later the attitude of the See also:government towards him was suddenly changed.
The new rising had given the See also:court an excuse for breaking off the treaty and sending another See also:army under Norfolk into Yorkshire. Possibly in these fresh circumstances Aske may have given cause for further suspicions of his See also:loyalty, and in his last See also:confession he acknowledged that communications to obtain aid had been opened with the imperial See also:ambassador and were contemplated with See also:Flanders. But it is more probable that the government had from the first treacherously affected to treat him with confidence to secure the secrets of the rebels and to effect his destruction. In See also:March Norfolk congratulated See also:Cromwell on the successful accomplishment of his task, having persuaded Aske to go to London on false assurances of See also:security. He was arrested in See also:April, tried before a See also:commission at See also:Westminster, and sentenced to See also:death for high See also:treason on the 17th of May; and on the 28th of See also:June he was taken back to Yorkshire, being paraded in the towns and country through which he passed. He was hanged at York in See also:July, expressing repentance for breaking the king's See also:laws, but declaring that he had promise of pardon both from Cromwell and from Henry. It is related that his servant, Robert See also:Wall, died of grief at the thought of his See also:master's approaching See also:execution. Aske was a real leader, who gained the See also:affection and confidence of his followers; and his sudden rise to greatness and his choice by the See also:people point to abilities that have not been recorded.
