Stafford and Lovell rebellion

Years: 1486 - 1486

The Stafford and Lovell rebellion is the first armed uprising against King Henry VII after he wins the crown at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.

The uprising is led by Francis Lovell, 1st Viscount Lovell and the Stafford brothers, Sir Humphrey Stafford (c. 1426/7 – July 8, 1486) of Grafton, Worcestershire, and Thomas Stafford, and occurs during Easter 1486.

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”

― Golda Meir, My Life (1975)
