The revolt of Charles Neville Earl of Westmorland and Thomas Percy Earl of Northumberland in 1569 began with musters in the north in November when they raised their standards in Durham Cathedral. Percy's role in mobilising his Northumberland tenants and the mining communities of the northeast was crucial to the initial force of the rising. Percy himself fled to Scotland when the revolt collapsed, was eventually handed over and executed in 1572.
