 | | Robert Aske, a man of good family, residing on his patrimonial estate at Aughton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, was placed at its head. |
 | | In the castle of the last named town, a herald from the Duke of Norfolk, Lord President of the North and leader of the royal army, was admitted to the presence of Aske, who sat in state between the Archbishop of York, and Lord Darcy, attended by Sir Robt. |
 | | They attempted the capture of Hull and Carlisle, but were repulsed in both cases, and in their retreat from the latter town they were intercepted by the Duke of Norfolk, with a largely augmented army, and seventy-four officers were hanged on the walls of the city. |
