The Lincolnshire Rising
causes
-
Defence Of the Faith
The imagery, oaths, songs and propaganda of the pilgrims gave the rebellion a deliberately cultivated religious resonance. This religious auro gave the rebellion a justification and motivation that helped to sustain it.
-
Taxation
Opposition to the king’s demand for taxes was a consistent theme in the rebels’ articles. There was particular hostility to Cromwell’s initiative of taxing in time of peace, as introduced in the 1534 Subsidy Act.
The rebels demanded the rooting out of heresy. They called for an end to draining of the church's’ wealth, the renunciation of the Royal Supremacy and the rehabilitation of the Catholic Princess Mary
As well as opposition to the Subsidy Act of 1534, there was also opposition to the Statute of Uses, which was effectively a feudal tax on aristocratic landed inheritances.

Aristocratic feud
Some historians, most notable G. R. Elton, have argued that the uprising was an orchestrated attempt by disaffected nobility to increase their power and influence at court. The nobles were angry and resentful at the position of Cromwell and Anne Boleyn
The Treason Act, Royal Supremacy and heresy were all seen as clear examples of Cromwell’s work. This scapegoating of Cromwell and his henchmen Richard Rich and Thomas Audley was particularly useful for the gentry and nobility engaging in court politics.
