Worried that the presence of the imprisoned Earl of Warwick will threaten his dynasty, Henry has him entrapped into an act of treason to justify his execution.

The year is 1499 and King Henry V11 known for his tolerance and clemency has two problematic prisoners in the Tower of London: his rival royal claimant the childlike Edward Earl of Warwick and the notorious, pretender Perkin Warbeck .The Spanish ambassador and other events will put Henry's mercy to the test .—Jack Porter.

King Henry has had the feeble-minded Earl of Warwick, the legitimate heir in line for the throne from the rival House of York, imprisoned in the Tower for the past 14 years. Although he personally represents no threat to Henry, his absence from the public eye has encouraged impostors to impersonate him and foment rebellion. Henry has one of his minions concoct a plan in which Perkin Warbeck, a false pretender to the throne now imprisoned, will be allowed to meet Warwick and hopefully entrap him in an act of treason which will allow Henry to legally execute him.—[email protected]
