Catholic northern earls rebelled against Elizabeth and hoped to free Mary. 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 1569 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The rebellion failed and prompted severe repression of northern Catholic networks.
