>Uprising of 1497
>Taxed out the ass by Henry in his campaign against the Scots
>Composed mainly of tin miners and farmers angry at the royalty exploiting their labors
>Organize through mining parliaments
>Tax collector and provost of Glasney College is sacked by an army of 15,000 angry peasants led by An Gof, a blacksmith who remains the head of the revolt even after members of the old royalty joined the cause
>The king spreads rumors that he'll attack on Monday, but in stead attacks on Saturday while the Cornish army is near Deptford Strand in SE London
>An Goff's second-hand man, a lawyer named Thomas Flamank, literally said as his last words, "Speak the truth and only then can you be free of your chains," which is pretty much the end of the Manifesto and wouldn't surprise me if Marx used this to tip his fedora at England
