Lambert Simnel was defeated at the Battle of Stoke in 1487, however Henry VII showed mercy towards him and instead of executing him, made him a royal servant, working as spit-turner in the royal kitchens. He eventually became the King's falconer.
Perking Warbeck was defeated after the second Cornish rebellion in 1497. He was placed under house arrest for a time at Taunton and was then sent to the Tower of London after attempting to escape. In 1499, he was accused of plotting treason with the Earl of Warwick who was also in the Tower and was executed.
The pretenders to Henry VII's throne were Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck. Lambert Simnel claim was through the support of the Yorkist Dynasty to be young Edward of Warwick ( a nephew of Edward VI and Richard III). Perkin Warbeck's claimed to be Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, the younger son of King Edward IV, one of the Princes of the Tower and was threat to the Tudor Dynasty and gained his support outside of England.
This is one of history's greatest mysteries. Edward V and his brother Richard (often known as the Princes in the Tower) were kept in the tower of London by their uncle, Richard III when he seized power. Some believe that Richard murdered them, others that they were killed by his sucessor, Henry VII. Still others think that they survived into adulthood and returned to claim their throne in the form of "pretenders" such as Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck.

Lambert Simnel, posing as the Earl of Warwick, whom Henry VII had already imprisoned in the Tower of London, under the control of a number of Yorkist nobles including George, Duke of Clarence's eldest son, John de la Pole in 1487 was given 2000 German mercenaries by Margaret of Burgundy, Richard III's sister. He was defeated in battle at Stoke. Perkin Warbeck impersonated the youngest of Edward IV's sons, Richard, Duke of York. He was never as successful in his rebellion as Simnel was as by the time he stood against the Crown in 1491, Henry VII's foreign policy had improved somewhat and Warbeck was denied sanctuary in many countries such as Scotland, France and Spain. In 1497, Warbeck attempted to stir up rebellion in Cornwall but was crushed by Henry's army. He was taken to the Tower and later executed in 1499. Edmund de la Pole, brother to John who helped Simnel and was killed at the Battle of Stoke, calling himself the "White Rose" fled England for Burgundy after the deaths of Henry VII's wife and eldest son. In the Treaty of Windsor in 1506, Henry VII made an deal with King Philip and Queen Joanna of Burgundy in which they agreed to send Edmund back to England in return for his help in their taking of the throne of Castille.
