PERK IN WARBECK. 163 indorsed, " Entrances of burgesses into the brotherhood of the borough of Uouneheved, in the time of William Jane, Mayor." Thomas Berewude enters into the brotherhood of the burgesses, and pays 6s. 8d.; John Wattes, wulmonger, ditto; John Horewylle, skynner, of Luffyncote, ditto; Elinora Greston, of St. Leonard, ditto [see page 43, ante]; Stephen Hykke, draper and others. Total receipts this year, ^63 7s. 4^d.; and expenses, ^£58 9s. 10^-d. 1493. A roll, on which there is not one complete line, and on which the true date does not appear, seems, nevertheless, to have contained the account for the 8th Henry VII. William Uppetoun was Mayor, and the sources of income are the same as in the last account. Under the heading Farm of the Mill, there is legible, " 2s. received for the farm of the Mill under the Castle;" and under Casuals, "3s. 4d. received of the lord Prior for a trumpeter for a death." On the back of the roll are the words, " Entries of burgesses into the Fraternity of the borough," viz., "William Hopkyn, Prior of Launceston, John Gurde of Saint Leonard," and three others. In 1496 Thomas Flammock (or Flamank) excited rebel- lion in Cornwall, in favour of the House of York, and is reputed to have marched with about 6,000 men from Bod- min through Launceston to Exeter. In 1497 the celebrated counterfeit, Perkin Warbeck, landed from Ireland in Cornwall. Pretending to be the head of the House of York, he collected a large number of men at St. Michael's Mount, and at Bodmin. Henry VI L, hearing of this insurrection, ordered Sir Peter Edgcombe, knt., then sheriff of Cornwall (and son of Sir Richard Edgcombe, whose name appears on the previous page as Recorder of Dunheved), to raise the county, and give battle to Warbeck. Sir Peter was not successful, and Warbeck marched into Devon and beseiged Exeter. On the 5th October, 1497, he surrendered himself to the king. 1497. Deed.
