There is a new rising (not authorized by Aske) in February 1537 in Cumberland and Westmorland, called Bigod's Rebellion, under Sir Francis Bigod, of Settrington in the North Riding of Yorkshire.

The rebellion fails and King Henry arrests Bigod, Aske and several other rebels, such as Darcy; John Hussey, 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford, the Chief Butler of England; Sir Thomas Percy; and Sir Robert Constable.

All are convicted of treason and executed.

During 1537 Bigod will be hanged at Tyburn; Lords Darcy and Hussey both beheaded; Thomas Moigne, M.P. for Lincoln, will be hanged, drawn and quartered; Sir Robert Constable hanged in chains at Hull; and Robert Aske hanged in chains at York.

In total two hundred and sixteen will be executed: several lords and knights (including Sir Thomas Percy, Sir Stephen Hamerton, Sir William Lumley, Sir John Constable and Sir William Constable), six abbots (Adam Sedbar, Abbot of Jervaulx, William Trafford, Abbot of Sawley, Matthew Mackarel, Abbot of Barlings and Bishop of Chalcedon, William Thirsk, Abbot of Fountains and the Prior of Bridlington), thirty-eight monks, and sixteen parish priests.

Sir Nicholas Tempest, Bowbearer of the Forest of Bowland, will be hanged at Tyburn, Sir John Bulmer hanged, drawn and quartered and his wife Margaret Stafford burnt at the stake.
