Page "Richard de la Pole" Paragraph 8

In consequence of these treasonable proceedings Henry VII seized Edmund's brother William de la Pole, with four other Yorkist noblemen.

Two of them, Sir James Tyrrell and Sir John Wyndham, were executed ; William de la Pole was imprisoned ; and Edmund de la Pole, 3rd Duke of Suffolk, was outlawed.

Then in July 1502 Henry VII concluded a treaty with Maximilian by which the Emperor bound himself not to countenance English rebels.

Presently Suffolk fell into the hands of Philip I of Castile, who imprisoned him at Namur and in 1506 surrendered him to Henry VII, on condition that his life was spared.

He remained a prisoner until 1513, when he was beheaded by Henry VIII at the time his brother Richard took up arms with the French king.
