Hall's Chronicle 1499. 16 Nov 1499. Nov 1499. Perkyn (age 25) (of whom rehearsal was made before) being now in hold, could not leave with the destruction of himself, and confusion of other that had associate themselves with him, but began now to study which way to fly and escape. For he by false persuasions and liberal promises corrupted Strangways, Blewet, Astwood and long Rogier his keepers, being servants to Sir John, Digby Lieutenant. In so much that they (as it was at their arraignment openly proved) intended to have slain the said Master, and to have set Perkyn and the Earl of Warwick (age 24) at large, which Earl was by them made privy of this enterprise, and thereunto (as all natural creatures love liberty) to his destruction assented, but this crafty device and subtle imagination, being opened and disclosed, sorted to none effect, and so he being repulsed and put back from all hope and good luck with all his accomplices and confederates, and John Awater sometime Mayor of Corffe in Ireland, one of his founders, and his son, were the sixteen day of November arraigned and condemned at Westminster.

Wriothesley's Chronicle 1485-1509. 23 Nov 1499. Perkin Werbeck (age 25) putt to death at Tyburne [Map]; and the Earle of Warwyke (age 24),^b sonne to the Duke of Clarence, who had bene kept in the Tower [Map] from the age of 11 years unto the end of 14 yeares, was beheaded at the Tower Hill [Map].^c A great pestilence throughout all England.

Note b. Edward Earl of Warwick (age 24) was the last remaining male of the honse of Plantagenet. He bore the title of Earl of Warwick, though it does not appear that his father's attainder had been reversed.

Note c. Warbeck (age 25) was executed at Tyburn [Map] on the 23rd Norember, together with O'Water, Mayor of C!ork, and the Earl of Warwick on the following day, or, according to some anthorities, on the 28th.

Note. "though it does not appear that his father's attainder had been reversed." Edward's (age 24) claim was from through his mother Isabel Neville Duchess Clarence, daughter of Richard "Kingmaker" Neville Earl Warwick, 6th Earl Salisbury and [his grandmother] Anne Beauchamp 16th Countess Warwick, whose claim had come from her mother Anne Beauchamp, so his father's attainder was irrelevant.

Hall's Chronicle 1499. 28 Nov 1499. And upon his [Edward "Last Plantagenet" York 17th Earl Warwick (age 24)] confession he had his judgement, and according thereunto, the 28th day of November 1499 was brought to the scaffold on the Tower Hill, and there beheaded. The same after his death sprung abroad, the Ferdinand King of Spain would never make full conclusion of the matrimony to be had between Prince Arthur and the Lady Katheryn his daughter nor send her into England as long as this Earl lived. For he imagined that as long as any Earl of Warwick lived, that England should never be cleansed or purged of civil war and privy sedition, so much was the name of Warwick in other regions had in fear and jealousy.

After 28 Nov 1499 Edward "Last Plantagenet" York 17th Earl Warwick (age 24) was buried at Bisham Abbey [Map].
