SIR EDMUND DE LA POLE, 3RD EARL OF SUFFOLK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund de la Pole was born around 1471 at Cotton, Suffolk, England. He was the second son and third child of John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk, and Elizabeth Plantagenet (sister of Edward IV<\/a> and Richard III).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This meant that Edmund\u00a0had a claim to the throne as a descendent of Edward III and nephew of Richard III<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edmund married, in 1496, Margaret, granddaughter of Henry Scrope, 4th Baron Scrope of Bolton. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, who became a nun and died of the Black Plague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, he supported Henry VII but then conspired with Emperor Maximilian in 1501. For his rebellion, he was proclaimed an outlaw at Ipswich, on 26 December 1502.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philip the Handsome was persuaded by Henry VII to hand over the Earl of Suffolk in the treaty\u00a0Malus Intercursus<\/em>. Henry imprisoned the Earl in the Tower on his arrival in London in 1505\/6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the accession of Henry VII<\/a> and Elizabeth’s son\u00a0Henry VIII<\/a>, Edmund being still in the Tower, was not included in the new king’s general pardon of 30 April 1509.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being a prisoner in the Tower for around 7 years, he was beheaded on\u00a0Tower Hill<\/a>\u00a0on 30 April 1513, aged about 42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montaigne, in his Essays<\/em>, said that Henry VII, in his will, instructed his son to put Suffolk to death immediately after his death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
