Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger and Wyatt’s Rebellion

Thomas Wyatt the Younger, born into a Catholic family with a history of loyal service to the Crown, was a supporter of Queen Mary - until she decided to marry Philip II of Spain. Wyatt had seen the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition and was dead set against tying England to this "foreigner."ù What happened next helped Mary earn the moniker "Bloody Mary."ù James D. Taylor Jr. has brought together all known surviving documents from the life of Thomas Wyatt the Younger and presents them in their original form, allowing the reader to piece together a pointillistic picture of the historical narrative and the evolution of Wyatt's thinking leading up to and during his rebellion against the Queen.
