Western Rebellion

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Western Rebellion

Peasant rising in Devon and Cornwall 1549, partly in response to sheep tax and inflationary pressures but mainly against Edward IV's reformation laws. The rebels besieged Exeter and captured Plymouth, but were defeated by Lord Russell and crushed. The rebels particularly complained that the Cornish speakers among them could not understand the new Book of Common Prayer. This claim was rebuffed with the answer they could not understand Latin either.
