More about this scene
It was from Brancepeth in November 1569 that the rebel earls of Westmorland and Northumberland launched their attack on Barnard Castle, which was being held for Queen Elizabeth by Sir George Bowes. The earls had even entered into negotiations with the Spanish Ambassador in an attempt to secure assistance from Philip II; the rebels garrisoned the port of Hartlepool. The rebellion collapsed after the earls were defeated near Durham on 15 December.
