'''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.

He was crowned king of [[England]] as Edward VI in [[Dublin]] in May 1487, and was the nominal head of a considerable force that landed in England a month later. The king met him in battle at Stoke near Newark on 16th June, and was victorious. In an act of clemency (or in a burst of humour not often seen in that era) Henry pardoned him, but put him to work in the palace kitchens as a scullery lad. He lived in obscurity for a further 48 years or so. The real leaders of the plot were not so lucky.
