Henry VII., rumours were disseminated by the adherents of the Yorkist See also:dynasty that the two sons of See also:Edward IV., who had been murdered in the See also:Tower of See also:London,, were still alive. A See also:young Oxford See also:priest, See also:Richard See also:Symonds by name, conceived the project of putting forward the boy Simnel to impersonate one of these princes as a'claimant for the See also:crown, with the See also:idea of thereby procuring for himself the archbishopric of See also:Canterbury. He set about instructing the youth in the arts and See also:graces appropriate to his pretended See also:birth.; but meanwhile a See also:report having gained currency that the young See also:earl of See also:Warwick, son of Edward IV.'s See also:brother See also:George, See also:duke of See also:Clarence, had died in the Tower, Symonds decided that the impersonation of this latter See also:prince would' be a more easily credible deception. It is probable that Symonds acted throughout with the connivance of the Yorkist leaders, and especially of See also:John de la See also:Pole, earl of See also:Lincoln, himself a See also:nephew of Edward IV., who had been named See also:heir' to the crown by Richard III. The Yorkists had many adherents in See also:Ireland, and thither Lambert Simnel was taken by Symonds See also:early in 1487; and, gaining the support of the earl of See also:Kildare, the See also:archbishop of See also:Dublin, the See also:lord See also:chancellor and a powerful following, who were, or pretended to be, convinced' that the boy was the earl of Warwick escaped from the Tower, Simnel was crowned as See also:- KING

On the 2nd of See also:February 1487 Henry VII. held a See also:council at Sheen to See also:concert See also:measures for dealing with the See also:conspiracy. See also:Elizabeth Woodville, widow of Edward IV., was imprisoned in the See also:convent of See also:Bermondsey; and the real earl of Warwick was taken from the Tower and shown in public in the streets of London. But although Lincoln is said to have conversed with Warwick on this occasion, he fled abroad immediately after the council at Sheen, where he was See also:present. In See also:Flanders, Lincoln joined Lord See also:Lovell, who had headed an unsuccessful Yorkist rising in 1486, and in May 1487 the two lords proceeded to Dublin, where they landed a few days before the See also:coronation of Lambert Simnel.

This force, together with some See also:ill-armed Irish levies commanded by Sir Thomas See also:Fitzgerald, landed, in See also:Lancashire on the 4th of See also:June. King Henry was at See also:Coventry when the See also:news of the landing reached him, and immediately marched to See also:Nottingham, where his See also:army was strengthened by the addition of 6000 men. The invaders met with little encouragement from the populace, who were not well disposed towards a monarch whom it was sought to impose upon them by the aid' of Irish and German mercenaries. Making for the fortress of See also:Newark, Lincoln and Sir Thomas Broughton, at the See also:head of their See also:motley forces, and accompanied by Simnel, attacked the royal army near the See also:village of Stoke-on-See also:Trent on the 16th of June 1487.

The former was consigned to a See also:dungeon for the See also:rest of his See also:life; but Henry VII., recognizing that the youthful pretender had been a See also:tool in the hands of others and was in himself harmless, pardoned Lambert Simnel and took him into his own service in the See also:menial capacity of scullion.
