Eamon Duffy: Durham 1569: A People’s Tragedy?

1569 refers to the Northern Rebellion (or Rising of the Northern Earls), an event tied to the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth I by Pope Pius V in 1570, and arguably the decisive rupture between the Church of England and the Catholic Church in communion with the Bishop of Rome. The city, cathedral and county of Durham was at the centre of the uprising of 1569. This presentation is by Prof. Eamon Duffy (University of Cambridge, Emeritus).
