Pilgrimage of Grace, 1536-1537 by Geoffrey Moorhouse

Pilgrimage of Grace, 1536-1537 by Geoffrey Moorhouse describes a rebellion against Henry VIII. There isn't much on this rebellion as far as secondary sources. The book does an excellent job of looking through primary sources. The underlying issue was one of religion the break with the Roman Catholic church. Interestingly enough Hendry's advisers were criticized and not the King himself. Not that it made the reprisals any less violent.

Recommended.
