LINCOLN, England, Feb. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) One day while reading, author Keith M. Melton saw reference to a rebellion in Lincolnshire, England, during Tudor times. It seemed the action was started by commoner called Nicholas Melton. Intrigued that this fellow might be an ancestor, the author `adopted Nicholas into his family` and delved deeply into the background of the rebellion. Captain Cobbler: The Lincolnshire Uprising, 1536 (published by iUniverse) presents his findings and the full story of this unassuming shoemaker.
It is 1536 and the kingdom of Henry Vlll is in turmoil with Ann Boleyn having just been executed and the king hastily marrying his third wife and, at the same time, Henry`s chancellor, Lord Cromwell, is dissolving the monasteries, trampling religious traditions and unsettling the community.

Where Do We Belong in God’s Universe?
In the 16th century the dominant religious “theory” was that everything on the planet from God down to minerals and rocks were links in the Elizabethan Chain of Being. The earth that came from the disintegration of rocks was at the bottom of the chain. At the top of the chain was God. It progressed downward to angels, demons (fallen angels), stars, moon, kings and queens, princes, nobles, men, wild animals, domesticated animals, trees, other plants, precious stones, precious metals, other minerals-and, finally, rocks.
Each category had its own “chain” from top to bottom. As an example, an oak was at the top of the tree chain, the yew was at the bottom. (The yew tree had toxic, death-dealing leaves representing death.) Kings were at the top in the human chain, peasants at the bottom. If a human tried to rise above his anointed place in the chain, he brought disaster to himself and family. Think Macbeth.
