49
What was the outcome of the Oxfordshire Rebellion and how much of a threat was it to Elizabeth?
- Plot was betrayed by a participant and led to the arrest of the 5 ringleaders, of which 2 were executed - Originally seen as a major threat by government which led to the uplift of the enclosures rule - However, eventually found out that it was poorly organised meaning that it posed no serious threat

Earl of Tyrone
52
What happened during the Irish Rebellion?
- Captured the key fort on the River Blackwater in 1598 and fought English defeating them before taking control of Munster and most of Ireland - Had support from Scottish Mercenaries - Elizabeth responded by sending a force of 16,000 men which is the largest sent to Ireland in the Tudor period, led by Essex but fought poorly and marched with only 4000 men to meet with Tyrone privately which led to rumours of betrayal - He then returned to England against his orders and burst into Elizabeth's quarters whilst without her wig and just out of bed - Replaced Essex with Lord Mountjoy who quickly won over native Irish who were tiring of Tyrone and was much more effective - Overcame Spanish landing in 1601 and then surrendered in 1602 before advancing to Ulster
53
What was the outcome of the Irish Rebellion and how much of a threat was it to Elizabeth?
- Tyrone surrendered in 1603 a few days after Elizabeth’s death and the threats of the rebellion had been foiled - Was a major threat to Elizabeth as there was lots of support for the rebellion and Ireland was also seen as a perfect base for the Spanish to attack from - As was seen in the amount of troops sent by Elizabeth, she was worried by Tyrone’s influence and organisation showing its significance
54
What was the reason for the Essex Rebellion?
Essex was gradually removed from the Queen's close advisers and wanted power for himself
55
What happened during the Essex Rebellion?
- He tried to communicate with James of Scotland and with Lord Mountjoy who had been sent to Ireland - He tried to persuade Mountjoy to come back with his troops in support of Essex’s rebellion against the Queen but he refused - James of Scotland was more communicative but remained cautious leading to nothing - He overestimated the amount of popular support he had meaning that he could not gain the rebels that he required to be seen as a significant uprising - However, he did have support in Wales but it proved to far away to make a difference
56
What was the outcome of the Essex Rebellion and to what extent was it a threat to Elizabeth?
- Only 6 executions, 2 of which were Roman Catholics and were seen as traitors and 1 of which was Essex himself which was a small number in comparison to other rebellions - Essex was driven by his self belief and overestimated his support meaning that he was seen as more of a nuisance in comparison to the threat of Ireland etc - Did cause Elizabeth to keep an eye on his movements, it was never a serious threat to her and the government
