Lambert Simnel

1st Earl of Lincoln

1477 CE to 1525 CE

Lambert Simnel (ca.

1477 – ca.

1525) is a pretender to the throne of England.

His claim to be the Earl of Warwick in 1487 threatens the newly established reign of King Henry VII (reigned 1485–1509).

Simnel becomes the figurehead of a Yorkist rebellion organized by John de la Pole, Earl of Lincoln.

The rebellion is crushed in 1487.

Simnel is pardoned, and is hereafter employed in the Royal kitchens as a servant.
