Buckingham's Rebellion

Buckingham's rebellion is a failed but significant uprising, or collection of uprisings, of late 1483 in England and parts of Wales against Richard III of England.

To the extent that these local risings have a central coordination, the plot revolves around Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, who has become disaffected from Richard, and has backing from the exiled Henry of Richmond (the future king Henry VII).

Buckingham's precise motivation has been called "obscure"; he had been treated well by Richard.

The traditional naming of the rebellion after him has been labelld a misnomer, with John Morton and Reginald Bray more plausible leaders
