Thomas Wyatt, Classical Poems Best Place to Buy Anywhere on the Internet

Thomas Wyatt was brought to trial onMarch 15, and could make no defence. Execution was for a time delayed, no doubt in the hope that in order to save his life he would say enough to compromise the queen's sister Elizabeth, afterwardsQueen Elizabeth, in whose interests the rising was supposed to have been made. But he would not confess enough to render her liable to a trial fortreason. It was only through Elizabeth's dignity and composure that she managed to escape from the scandal unharmed, although she was spied upon and placed under house arrest for the rest of her sister's reign. Wyatt was executed onApril 11, and on the scaffold expressly cleared the princess of all complicity in the rising. After he was beheaded, his body was quartered.
