The Pilgrimage of Grace began on the 1st of October 1536 when Nicholas Melton addressed a crowd of twenty-two thousand people at St James' Church in Louth. This spontaneous uprising started with the closure of Louth Park Abbey and the seizure of church plate by royal commissioners.
Robert Aske, a barrister from London and the youngest son of Sir Robert Aske of Aughton, emerged as the leader of the insurgents. He led a band of nine thousand followers who had sworn the Oath of the Honourable Men and occupied York.
The Pilgrimage of Grace gathered at Pontefract Castle in early December 1536 to draft the 24 Articles to the King or The Commons' Petition. The petition demanded the end of the dissolution of religious houses, the repeal of the Statute of Uses, and the restoration of church properties.
A total of 216 people were executed during the suppression of the rebellion, including several lords, knights, 7 abbots, 38 monks, and 16 parish priests. Robert Aske was hanged in chains at York while Sir Robert Constable was hanged in chains at Hull.
The government postponed the collection of the October subsidy and partially negated the Statute of Uses with the Statute of Wills. Four of the seven sacraments omitted from the Ten Articles were restored in the Bishop's Book of 1537, but the dissolution of the monasteries continued unabated.
