referring to the nine years war. Essex was made lord lieutenant of Ireland in 1599. he was meant to control the Irish but failed as he made a truce with them. when he returned to England he was mocked for failing to beat the Irish.

52
Q

why did Essex start a rebellion

A

he resented his treatment as he had done many things for Elizabeth such as battling in the Spanish Armada and raided Cadiz in 1596.
however, when he came back to England in 1600 from Ireland, he was banned from court and his rep was ruined. he lost his monopoly on the sweet wine trade.

53
Q

when was the earl of Essex beheaded

A

feb 25 1601

54
Q

narrate the events before and during the Essex rebellion in 1601

A

Essex’s rebellion was the last challenge Elizabeth I faced. Essex resented that he was being excluded from Elizabeth’s favour and organised a rebellion with fellow nobles. The rebellion was quickly put down by rivals at court and the Earl of Essex was executed.

he had successfully led the forces which attacked the Spanish port in 1596. he was part of a faction which wanted foreign policy to be more aggressive. Elizabeth did not agree and he was not given access to the queens ear. he had to be restrained by fellow courtiers and was placed under house arrest. Essex felt alienated from the privy council and excluded from the queen

Essex was sent to Ireland in 1599 but failed to deal with the rebellion there. Because of this failure, Essex fell out of the queens favour. The Earl of Essex lost his sweet wine monopoly. This meant that he also his lost power and influence at court. We should consider Essex’s loss of power and wealth as the immediate trigger to his rebellion. This was because his debts necessitated action and he resented the influence families such as the Cecils had in court.

Because of his fall from favour, Essex gathered forces to lead a rebellion. He took four privy councillors hostage in February 1601. His rival Robert Cecil called him a traitor, and many of his approximately 200 supporters deserted him. This clearly shows the strength and influence of the Cecil family in 1601. Essex was arrested along with his remaining followers. He was executed in 1601 for treason. Essex’s rebellion was the final challenge to Elizabeth’s authority. The quick defeat of Essex’s rebellion showed that Elizabeth I was still in control of court in 1601.
