 Pilgrimage of Grace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lincolnshire Rising was a brief rebellion of Roman Catholics against the establishment of the Church of England by Henry VIII and the dissolution of the monasteries.
Following the rising, Thomas Kendall, the vicar of Louth and its spiritual leader, was captured and executed, as were most of the other local ringleaders over the next twelve months.
The loss of the leaders enabled the Duke of Norfolk to quell the rising, and martial law was imposed upon the rebellious regions, ending the rebellion.

The cause of this great popular movement, which extended over five counties and found sympathizers all over England, was attributed to Robert Aske, the leader of the insurgents, to "spreading of heretics, suppression of houses of religion and other matters touching the commonwealth".
