This Day in Medieval History
On this day in 1499, Perkin Warbeck, pretender to the throne of England during the reign of Henry VII, died. Warbeck, one of those guys in history who is able to pull off pretending to be someone else, until he tries to accomplish what the person he pretends to be would accomplish, led several feeble attempts against Henry VII. He was finally captured and hanged after trying to escape from the Tower of London.
