WHat did warbeck do with france and how did henry respond

France (1492): Charles VIII hosted Warbeck in Paris to pressure Henry.

Henry swiftly invaded France and signed the Treaty of Étaples (1492)—Charles agreed to pay Henry a pension and expel Warbeck.

Burgundy (1493–1495): Margaret of Burgundy (Edward IV's sister) officially recognized Warbeck as her nephew and trained him in courtly manners. In response, Henry placed a trade embargo on Burgundy (putting national security above economic profit).

Sir william stanley’s involvement with perkin warbeck- lord chaimberlain

Treason at Home (1495): Henry’s spy network discovered that Sir William Stanley (the Lord Chamberlain who helped Henry win at Bosworth) was in contact with Warbeck. Stanley was executed for treason in 1495.

Warbeck and Scotland

• Scotland (1495–1497): James IV of Scotland welcomed Warbeck, gave him a royal bride (Lady Catherine Gordon), and backed a Scottish invasion of Northern England in 1496. The invasion failed when local Northerners refused to support Warbeck.

Warbeck’s attempt 1

Deal Town (1495): Warbeck tried to land in Kent; local forces repelled him before he even properly disembarked.

Warbeck’s attempt 2

Cornish Rebellion (1497): Cornish peasants were furious about heavy taxation raised to fight the Scots. Warbeck tried to capitalize on this anger and landed in Cornwall, gathering 6,000 men. However, Henry's forces easily cornered him, and Warbeck fled.

The end for Warbeck

The End (1497–1499): Warbeck surrendered in 1497. Henry initially treated him leniently, keeping him at court under guard. However, after Warbeck attempted to escape twice—and was implicated in a plot with the real Earl of Warwick in the Tower—Henry had Warbeck hanged in 1499 (and had Warwick executed).
