Editing Lambert Simnel (section)

==Later life==
King Henry pardoned young Simnel (probably because he recognised that Simnel had been merely a puppet in the hands of adults) and put him to work in the royal kitchen as a [[Roasting jack|spit-turner]]. When he grew older, he became a [[falconry|falconer]]. Almost no information about his later life is known. He died some time after 1534.<ref name="odnb">[https://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-25569?rskey=ZYdh4q&result=1 Michael J.
