Large northern rebellions protested religious change, taxation and political grievances. Within the broader Tudor Britain period, dynastic consolidation, Reformation, closer incorporation of Wales and Ireland, and rivalry with Catholic Europe transformed the state. This event is placed at October 1536 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The revolt was the greatest popular challenge of Henry VIII's reign and was eventually crushed.
