Robert Constable

Sir Robert Constable (c. 1478 – 1537) was the eldest son of Sir Marmaduke Constable. He helped Henry VII to defeat the Cornish Rebellion of 1497 at Blackheath. In 1536, when the rising known as the Pilgrimage of Grace broke out in Northern England, Constable was one of the insurgent leaders, but towards the close of the year he submitted at Doncaster and was pardoned. He did not share in the renewal of the rising which took place in January 1537; but he refused the king's invitation to proceed to London, and was arrested. Tried for treason, he was hanged at Hull in the following June.
