After Epiphany on January 6, all the grain planted in the fields has been harvested, and the people threshed and raised the fields in the open field to complete the final harvest. The sowing of winter wheat has also ended the third and final ploughing of the fallow land, and the cycle of farming has finally come to an end.

With the onset of winter, every household has stockpiled enough timber, wheat straw and peat to survive the winter, and the animals slaughtered in November have been turned into salted meat to be eaten. People live in their own humble rooms to bake and chat, and children play and play with nothing to do, enjoying the few leisure moments of the year.

At this time, in addition to baking the fire, chatting, and drinking some ale wine from the lord, the people could only repair fences, fences, and barns in front of and behind their houses. On Candlemas Day on February 2, people bring back consecrated candles from nearby churches to be lit on stormy nights or when someone dies in the family.

A week later, when Ash Day came, it was forty days before Easter, which also proclaimed the beginning of Lent. From this day until Easter, except on Sunday, when Christians are required to fast, they are not allowed to have sex or eat meat, which is the most disgusting period for the people. Therefore, as is customary in the past, people will parade in procession and eat, drink and be merry on Ash Day.

On this day, while the people of Richmondshire and other northern counties were enjoying their pre-Easter indulgence and merriment, a rebellion called the Pilgrimage Movement broke out in Beverley, a town east of eastern Yorkshire. The leader of the rebellion was Sir Francis Bigged, who led his private army, squires, tenant farmers, hired hands and a large number of displaced people to quickly capture Beverly Cathedral, one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture.

The town of Beverly dates back to the Seven Kingdoms era of England, when the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria, founded by the Angles in the 7th century. In later generations, the name of the city of Beverly in Massachusetts, United States, and the name of Beverly Hills, the "world's most exclusive residential area" in California, was derived from this town in eastern Yorkshire.

In fact, the rebellion in Beverly had nothing to do with Northern leaders such as Robert Asker, who led the "Journey of Grace" movement. Back in October last year, 500 people gathered in Westwood under the leadership of a local lawyer named William Stapleton for the famous pilgrimage.

When the pilgrimage was cleverly quelled by the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Norfolk and the Earl of Surrey in peace talks, Sir Francis Beagled stepped forward. Perhaps the early pilgrimage campaign failed to achieve the goal of tens of thousands of rebels from the northern counties, or perhaps it was because Sir was jealous that the rebel leader, Robert Asker, was not only not punished by His Majesty, but was also invited by His Majesty to spend Christmas in the City of London.

All in all, a new rebellion of 30,000 men soon broke out in the eastern towns of Yorkshire. It should be said that this new rebellion was the best time that Henry VIII and the Duke of Richmond, who knew something inside, had been waiting for. When news of the rebellion reached Whitehall in London by Pegasus, Henry VIII immediately ordered the Duke of Norfolk to lead mercenaries to Beverly to bloodily suppress the rebellion.

Henry VIII's second edict was to order his illegitimate son, the Duke of Richmond, and the loyal Earls of Westmoreland and Cumberland, loyal to the crown, to the northern counties to arrest Robert Asker's rebel leaders and companions. As for the lawyer lawyer, the leader of the rebels, who had long been concerned about life and death, was arrested at the Earl of Surrey's estate on the third day after the Beverly rebellion and immediately taken to the Tower of London.

While Robert Asker was being arrested at the estate of the Duke of Richmond's playmate, a royal postman, accompanied by several royal guards, hurried outside Notting Castle in Richmondshire. Several galloping horses passed by the servants whose faces were still covered with Ash Day costumes, and when they came to the main building, they jumped off their horses without waiting for them to stop.

While the postman and the royal guard stood at one end of the parlour, the Duke of Richmond, who was seated firmly on the throne, after reading two letters from Henry VIII and the Privy Council and a decree of arrest, said to Isabel Walton, who was sitting in the retainer seat on the left: "Miss Isabel, a new rebellion has begun. ”

Today, Henry Fitzroy did not convene a meeting of his retainers. Because Lent has now begun, all people, including Catholic retainers, rely on pickled herring for protein every day. Sugar, eggs, and milk are fasted during Lent, and the day becomes boring.

Isabel and the Duke of Richmond, who had become Anglicans, ostensibly followed the Catholic practice of fasting, but in private they often went to the Second Guard Quarters to enjoy the delicacies of various meats. After the postman and the royal guards left, Isabel, who was full of energy and felt full of energy, stood up and came to the duke's side and said calmly: "Perhaps, this is the opportunity that His Majesty and you are waiting for, isn't it?" ”

"Isabel, this is a letter from His Majesty and the Privy Council, take a look."

"Of course, Henry."

When she saw Beverly's words, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly, thinking: "I didn't expect that the estates where rich people and Hollywood stars live in Los Angeles would come from here." However, Beverly at this time seemed to be a humble Yorkshire town. ”

After reading the two letters, she thought and said, "Well, it seems that the time has come. What do you think, Henry? ”

The Duke of Richmond looked at her contemplatively, "Yes, tomorrow I will leave for Westmoreland County to meet with the two Earls and carry out His Majesty's arrest decree." Today, with His Majesty's decree and Sir Alex Ferguson, you begin to arrest people in the county who have taken part in the rebellion. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." With that, Isabel left the parlor with the arrest decree issued by Henry VIII.

Soon, when she arrived at the castle's guard station, Sir Alex Ferguson was brought in. To Ferguson Congreve, who had hurried over, he said solemnly: "Sir, immediately gather 30 cavalrymen and 30 sergeants. ”

Sir Alex Ferguson, who was a little in low spirits, stared at her: "Your Excellency, is there any urgent matter?" ”

"Relax, today, I will give you and your people a happy task."

"What task?"

"The immediate arrest of the nobles and squires of the county who took part in the pilgrimage of the past year is a decree issued by His Majesty the King."

After reading the decree, Sir Alex Ferguson smiled greedily and said, "Your Excellency, are you telling me that you can make some fortune today?" ”

Isabel pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Don't touch the gold, silver and jewelry, Your Highness will take them and hand them over to the treasury." How about you and your people getting some cash? ”
