On 7 September 1497, Warbeck landed at [[Whitesand Bay (Cornwall)|Whitesand Bay]], two miles north of [[Land's End]], in [[Cornwall]], hoping to capitalise on the [[Cornish people]]'s resentment in the aftermath of [[Cornish rebellion of 1497|their uprising]] only three months earlier.<ref>{{cite web |title=Timeline of Cornish History 1066–1700 AD |url=http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5749 |website=[[Cornwall County Council]] |access-date=21 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060619090607/http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5749 |archive-date=19 June 2006}}</ref> Warbeck proclaimed that he could put a stop to extortionate taxes levied to help fight a war against Scotland and was warmly welcomed. He was declared "Richard IV" on [[Bodmin Moor]] and his Cornish army some 6,000 strong entered [[Exeter]] before advancing on [[Taunton]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Timeline of Cornish History 1066–1700 AD|url=http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5749|website=www.cornwall.gov.uk|access-date=10 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060619090607/http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5749|archive-date=19 June 2006}}</ref><ref name="Payton2004">{{cite book|last=Payton|first=Philip|title=Cornwall: A History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UfCvxdhNLHIC&pg=PA111|year=2004|publisher=Cornwall Editions Limited|isbn=978-1-904880-05-9|pages=111–}}</ref> Henry VII sent his chief general, [[Giles Daubeney, 1st Baron Daubeney]], to attack the Cornish and when Warbeck heard that the King's scouts were at [[Glastonbury]] he panicked and deserted his army.

Warbeck was captured at [[Beaulieu Abbey]] in Hampshire where he surrendered. Henry VII reached Taunton on 4 October 1497, where he received the surrender of the remaining Cornish army. The ringleaders were executed and others fined. Warbeck was imprisoned, first at Taunton, then at the [[Tower of London]], where he was "paraded through the streets on horseback amid much hooting and derision of the citizens".<ref>{{cite web|title=Perkin Warbeck|url=http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/H/history/n-s/perkin.html|website=www.channel4com|access-date=10 October 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050514021704/http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/H/history/n-s/perkin.html|archive-date=14 May 2005}}</ref>
