It is called a Simnel Cake. The name is a mystery but may mean that it was originally made with semolina flour. Originally the cake was made for Mothering Sunday, not Easter, by the way, and would be given to mothers by daughters. There are normally eleven marzipan balls on top of the cake; these represent Jesus' disciples, of whom there were twelve but treacherous Judas is excluded leaving eleven. Hope this helps.
Why did Lambert simnel and perking warbeck pretend to be Richard duke of york?
Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck pretended to be Richard, Duke of York, to challenge the legitimacy of the Tudor monarchy and to claim the English throne. Simnel, initially posing as the Duke in 1487, aimed to exploit discontent with Henry VII's rule, while Warbeck, who emerged in the 1490s, sought to rally support from disaffected factions, including foreign powers. Both figures represented the continued threat of Yorkist claims to the throne after the Wars of the Roses. Their pretensions highlighted the ongoing political instability in England during this period.
