The Western Rebellion of 1549: religious protest in Devon and Cornwall
During the summer of 1549, a huge popular rebellion took place in Devon and Cornwall. Thousands of people took part in the insurrection and the government of Edward VI was eventually forced to raise a powerful army in order to suppress it. But what was ‘the Commotion in the West Parts’ - as those who lived through the rebellion later remembered it - all about? Where did it begin, how did it spread and how was it eventually put down? These are the questions which the present article will explore.

But what was ‘the Commotion in the West Parts’ - as those who lived through the rebellion later remembered it - all about? Where did it begin, how did it spread and how was it eventually put down? These are the questions which the present article will explore.
