In 1554, Thomas Wyatt and followers (James Croft, Peter Carew and Henry Grey), became the central leaders of the rebellion against Mary I. The rebellion began because of Mary's marriage to Philip II of Spain, and 3,000 armed men in Kent marched on London. However, they were forced to surrender on February 4th and were executed with 90 other rebels. Wyatt was executed on April 11th and accepted full responsibility for the rebellion.
