	Perkin Warbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warbeck was first heard of in the court of Burgundy in 1490, pretending to the English throne.
		He was also welcomed by various other Monarchs, and received an official invitation to the funeral of Mary of Burgundy, daughter of Margaret of Burgundy and Charles the Bold, wife of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor.
		On July 3, 1495, Perkin attempted a landing in England, funded by Margaret of Burgundy.

	Perkin Warbeck and His Friends
		Perkin readily accepted the invitation, was received at the French Court as a foreign prince, and had a guard of honour assigned him.
		Perkin had no mind to land himself, but sailed away to try his fortunes again in Ireland, where he had made such a favourable impression at the first.
		Perkin, it is said, was soon weary of the sight of cruelty and devastation committed by his Scotch allies, and begged King James to be a little more merciful to those whom he affected to call his subjects.

		Perkin says that the people seeing him dressed in the silks of his master took him for a person of distinction, and insisted that he musi be either the son.
		1497 Perkin was sent on his travels again with two or three small vessels, and accompanied by his wife, who had borne him one or two children.

	[No title]
		Perkin, however, must have acted up to his part with no little skill to have maintained himself as a plausible impostor up to the time when Margaret of Burgundy received him--even though he met no one in whose interest it was to pose him with inconvenient questions.
		Warbeck was compelled publicly to read at Exeter and later in London a confession of the true story of his own origin and that of the conspiracy; and was then relegated to not very strict confinement under surveillance.
		Warbeck's Cornish rising was turned conveniently to account for the replenishment of the royal treasury by the infliction of fines, but no one who had supported it could complain of harsh treatment; rather they must have felt in every case that they had been let off very easily according to all precedents.

		Perkin Warbeck (possibly an illegitimate son of Edward IV) initially claimed to be Edward, Earl of Warwick (as Lambert Simnel had before him) but soon changed his story and claimed to be Richard, Duke of York - the brother of Edward V and the younger Prince in the Tower.
		In 1495, 1496 and 1497, Warbeck attempted to invade England (in 1497 trying to maximise discontent from Cornwall where some local men had rebelled earlier in the year against high taxes) but, in October 1497, he was captured and taken to the king at Taunton.
		In November 1499 both Warbeck and the real Edward, Earl of Warwick (who had been imprisoned by Henry VII in 1485) were executed for treason.

	C. Abate: Marriage Brokering in Perkin Warbeck
		Perkin secures a new source to draw upon establishing his legitimacy, as he is about to marry a princess whose socio-economic standing will benefit his own.
		Because Perkin's fortunes change for the worse after he shifts his alignment from James to Katherine, it is tempting to suggest that she is the cause, and had Perkin remained under the protection of a royal man rather than trafficking in a royal woman, perhaps he would not face execution at Henry's hands.
		Perkin unhesitatingly complies, knowing that it hardly matters both because he is about to be executed, and also because she is the person who shared her assets, her societal connections, and her titles when he had none to bring with him into the marriage.

		Mary Shelley adopted the hypothesis according to which Perkin Warbeck was the true Richard, Duke of York, the youngest son of Edward IV, who had escaped his uncle's attempt to murder him, survived his brother and become the rightful heir to the throne of England.
		Both Ivanhoe and Perkin Warbeck focus on the conflict between political ambition and the aspirations of the human heart with a judgement of the ideals and paraphernalia of chivalry.

		Warbeck's only real incursion into England, launched from Ireland through the wilds of Cornwall, ended in September 1497 when Henry's troops cut down Warbeck's ragtag army near Taunton and Warbeck turned on his heels and fled.
		Exploiting Henry's hospitality, Warbeck escaped, was recaptured within hours (soaked, hiding in a charterhouse) consigned to the Tower (from which he had supposedly been rescued as a child) where he spent the next 17 months.
		Hyperbole -- Perkin Warbeck was neither perfect nor a true prince -- announces the book, followed by an artless summary of contents, which, in this case, not so cleverly appeals to Americans' love of quest and conspiracy.

		As far as Perkin Warbeck is concerned, however, her historical adaptation did not contribute to the success of the novel.
		Perkin Warbeck is especially built out of material taken from previous works, mainly historical sources which she acknowledged in her Preface, like Bacon, Hall, and Holinshed.
		The thesis that Mary Shelley resorted to Scott when writing Perkin Warbeck is supported by a letter she sent to the Scottish novelist on 25 May 1829, in which she asked him for any information on any works or manuscripts he may know on the historical Perkin Warbeck.

		Henry VII offered peace and prosperity which was more to the national taste at the time so Perkin Warbeck never made much headway in mainland England.

		Lovel and Warbeck kept silence, till the deep breathing of their companions shewed that they slept: then, in reply to the Fleming's questions, Lovel related the history of the last months, and at the conclusion frankly asked his advice and assistance in accomplishing his design of conveying the Duke of York to Winchester.

		John Ford's Perkin Warbeck, first published in 1634, is highly unusual in being so late an example of the chronicle history play, which had been in vogue thirty years earlier and had been seen very little since.
		When Ford portrays Henry VII of England triumphing in the course of the play and James IV of Scotland brought almost to his knees, we are surely invited to reflect on their very different approaches to government and to deduce which would be the better model for Charles to follow.
		The real-life Perkin Warbeck claimed to be Richard, Duke of York, younger of the two Princes in the Tower, but was eventually unmasked as a Flemish impostor.
