November 23 - The pretender Perkin Warbeck

On this day in Tudor history, 23rd November 1499, in the reign of King Henry VII, pretender Perkin Warbeck was hanged at Tyburn after allegedly plotting to help another claimant, Edward, Earl of Warwick, escape from the Tower of London.

Perkin Warbeck had claimed to be Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, the younger of the Princes in the Tower, and had even been proclaimed King Richard IV, but his rebellion and claim failed.

In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", gives Perkin Warbeck's background, and explains how he ended up trying to claim the throne of England, and what happened.

Note from Claire: Please forgive me for saying that Margaret of Burgundy was the Princes' sister. She was their aunt.
