'''Lambert Simnel''' (c.1475-c.1535) was a pretender to the crown of [[Henry VII]] . Because of a remarkable resemblance, was put forward by Yorkists as Edward, earl of Warwick, nephew of the deposed [[Richard III]] and therefore the rightful heir of that king. He is believed to have been the son of an [[Oxford]] artisan. | '''Lambert Simnel''' (c.1475-c.1535) was a pretender to the crown of [[Henry VII]] .
