[1485.] And so much were those Western people addicted to that name,
as they readily followed Sir Edw. Courtney, & his brother Peter,
Bishop of Excester, what time the assisted the Duke of Buckingham,
in his reuolt against Richard the third.
[1497.] Neither did his suppressour and successour, H. the 7. finde
them more loyall: for the Cornish men repining at a Subsidy lately
graunted him by Act of Parliament, were induced to rebellion,
by Thomas Flammock, a Gentleman, & Michael Ioseph, a Black-smith,
with whom they marched to Taunton, there murdering the prouost of
Perin, a Commissioner for the sayd Subsidy, and from thence to Welles,
where Iames Touchet, Lord Audely, degenerated to their party,
with which encrease they passed by Sarisbury to Winchester, and so
into Kent. But by this time, Lords & Commons were gathered in
strength sufficient, to make head against them, and soone after,
black Heath saw the ouerthrow of their forces, in battell, and London,
the punishment of their seducers by iustice.
