Why did Henry VIII kill people in the north on the pilgrimage of grace?
Henry VIII had adopted a policy of breaking the English church away from Rome and of closing down the monasteries and confiscating their property. The Pilgimage of Grace, led by Yorkshireman Richard Aske, protested about these actions and caused civic unrest in some northern towns like York. After a peace treaty had been agreed the trouble flared up again and this time Henry thought he had better nip the uprising in the bud before it grew into civil war. So Aske and his colleagues were executed.

Were the Welsh the original inhabitants of Britain?
So much for the ethno-mythological-political answer. It is a simple fact that the British Isles have been inhabited since around 10000 BC. The Celtic culture did not arrive in Britain until after the Sixth century BC. I say Celtic culture, because there is no evidence that it ever had any relevance to ethnic heritage. In fact it originated in the Halstatt area of central Germany - the home of the hated Saxons. Wait a minute - that means that the Celts have the same cultural origin as the Anglo-Saxons! As with all of these arguments, your ethnic/cultural identity all depends where you choose to draw the line in the sands of history. The bottom line is that the British (Whether you regard yourselves as English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish Cornish or a Yorkshireman) are the biggest bunch of mongrels in the World! RESPONSE: You need to check out the recent Y-chromosome studies instead of relying on old historical theories. Check out Oppenheimer's book. Counter Response: Those "old" historicla theories are still current and not at gainsaid by the DNA evidence. Current DNA analysis confirms that the majority of the population of the British Isles (Geographic) share the essentially the same gene pool whether they come from Dover, Lands End, John O'Groats or Tipperary. What we regard as culture is therefore a political sheen applied by the winners of the last battle. That means in sequence; Pre-Celtic, Celtic, Roman, Norse, Saxon, Norse, Norman (also Norse), German etc etc. What little DNA these peoples contributed has, for the most part, been watered down to nothing. We are all still the same people. While we continue to try and break our societies down into squabbling penny packets, those who find pride in their immigrant strain will continue to win. That means for eaxmple, that the 304 million US citizens (mongrals to a man and woman) will outperform the 500 million Europeans making us poorer and them richer. All the while, here you are worrying that most "Celtic" kids would rather rap in English (Or, at least, something very loosely related to it) than a language that will give them no advantages in life.
Facts about guy Fawkes?
Born: 1570 in York. Yes, Guy Fawkes was a Yorkshireman. Baptised: 16th April 1570 at Saint Michael-le-Belfrey, York. Died: 31st Jan 1606 at Old Palace Yard, Westminster. Schooled: Saint Peter's in York. Fawkes left England in 1593 or 1594 for Flanders. He enlisted in the Spanish army under the Archduke Albert of Austria. Fawkes held a post of command when the Spaniards took Calais in 1596 under the orders of King Philip II of Spain. November 5, 1605, Fawkes was arrested in the cellars of Parliament House. In 1606 Parliament agreed to make 5th November a day of public thanksgiving and ever since then the day has been celebrated with fireworks and bonfires. Details of the gunpowder plot: On 5th November 1605, two years after the death of Queen Elizabeth I, soldiers discovered a man called Guy Fawkes in a cellar under the Houses of Parliament. With him were at least twenty barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was arrested and tortured. At last he gave way and told his torturers about a plot to blow up Parliament together with the king, James I, his ministers and Members of Parliament. Fawkes was a Roman Catholic who had been angered by the failure of King James, who was after all the son of the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots, to grant more religious toleration to Catholics. He had joined with a group of four other Catholics led by Robert Catesby in the plot to kill the king. Catesby had made the mistake of inviting other Catholics to join the plot. One of these was called Francis Tresham. Tresham wrote a letter to his brother-in-law Lord Monteagle warning him not to go to Parliament and Monteagle told the government. The plot was foiled at the eleventh hour; some of the plotters escaped, some turned King's Evidence and reported on the rest. The unlucky Fawkes was taken in chains to the Tower of London and beheaded at dawn. He was hanged, drawn and quartered. After Guy was hanged, he was drawn (drug) through the streets of London behind a horse cart. At a public venue, he was then chopped into 'quarters'. The charge was treason, though some people in England prefer to remember Guy as "the only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions." In 1606 Parliament agreed to make 5th November a day of public thanksgiving and ever since then it has been known as "Guy Fawkes Night", with people all over Britain letting off fireworks and lighting bonfires. To this day, one of the ceremonies that accompany the opening of a new session of parliament, is the searching of the basement. Parliament somehow made political capital out of the close call, and poor Guy Fawkes is burned in effigy every November 5th on bonfires.
