Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger, (1825). Artist: Sarah, Countess of Essex

Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger, (1825). Wyatt (c1521-1554) led a rebellion during the reign of Mary I in opposition to Marys plans to marry Prince Philip (later King Philip II) of Spain. Wyatt occupied Rochester on 26 January 1554, but his uprising had little support outside Kent. He marched on London with 4000 men but an anticipated rising amongst loyalist troops failed to materialise and Wyatts supporters began to desert. After an attempt to force entry into the City at Ludgate failed Wyatt surrendered. He offered no defence when tried for treason, but his execution was delayed because Mary hoped that he would implicate her sister Elizabeth in the plot. Wyatt did not do so, instead clearing her of any involvement from the scaffold. Elizabeth was however placed under house arrest and spied upon for the rest of Marys reign. From Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth, 1825
