ANNO DOM. 1541. REG. 33.
THe late Yorkshire Rebellion was not so throughly quenched, [ 1541] but it again began to shew it self; but by the punishment of the chief Incendiaries it was quickly suppressed. Fourteen of the Conspirators were put to death; Leigh a Gentleman, Thornton a Yeoman, and Tattershall a Clothier, at London; Sir John Nevil and ten others at York. Which Commotion whether raised in favour of Religion, or being suspected that it had any abettors beyond the Seas, is thought to have hastened the death of the long since condemned Countess of Sarisbury, who on the seven and twentieth of May was Beheaded in the Tower.
The eight and twentieth of June the Lord Leonard Grey Deputy of Ireland, did on the Tower Hill publickly undergo the like pu∣nishment. He was Son to the Marquis of Dorset, near allied to the King, and a brave Martial man, having often done his Coun∣trey good service. But for that he had suffered his Nephew Gerard Fitz-Gerard (Brother to Thomas lately executed) proclaimed enemy to the Estate, to make an escape, and in revenge of some con∣ceived private injury had invaded the Lands of the King's friends, he was arraigned and condemned, ending his life with a reso∣lution befitting a brave Souldier.
The same day Thomas Fines Lord Dacres of the South, with some other Gentlemen, for the death of one Busbrig slain by them in a fray, was hanged at Tyburn. Many in regard of his youth and Noble Disposition, much lamented his loss, and the King's inexorable rigour.
