Beginning as an argument between two men and their vicar, the rebellion led to a siege of Exeter, savage battles with Crown forces, and the deaths of 4,000 local men and women. It represents the most determined attempt by ordinary English people to halt the religious reformation of the Tudor period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMark Stoyle tells the story of the so-called \"Prayer Book Rebellion\" in full. Correcting the accepted narrative in a number of places, Stoyle shows that the government in London saw the rebels as a real threat.
