Perkin Warbeck, pretender to English Throne, lands at Sennen, Cornwall and raises a Cornish Army.

Perkin Warbeck (c. 1474 - November 23, 1499) was a pretender to the English throne during the reign of King Henry VII of England. He was an impostor, a Fleming born in Tournai in about 1474. He pretended to be Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York, the younger son of King Edward IV of England. The real Richard was almost certainly dead by this time, murdered in the Tower of London. Warbeck was first heard of in the court of Burgundy in 1490, pretending to the English throne.
