Kett's Rebellion, which began in Wymondham, Norfolk, on 8th July, 1549, was largely in response to the enclosure of land. One of the targets was yeoman Robert Kett, who instead of resisting the rebels agreed to their demands and offered to lead them. Kett and his forces (numbering c.16,000) set up camp on Mousehold Heath to the north-east of Norwich on 12th July. They stormed and took the city on 29th July, and on the 1st August defeated a Royal Army led by the Marquess of Northampton. The rebellion ended on 27th August when the rebels were defeated by an army under the leadership of the Earl of Warwick at the Battle of Dussindale. Kett was captured, held in the Tower of London, tried for treason, and hanged from the walls of Norwich Castle on 7th December 1549. The second part of the work provides extensive historical and topographical notes.
