| In 1503, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]], the [[Mentor]] of the [[Italian Assassins]], sent a group of his Assassins to London to aid King Henry. They killed Simnel and Warbeck's co-conspirator [[Margaret of York]] in November 1503. After her death, they killed several Templars instigating riots over Margaret's death. One of these Templars revealed that they had infiltrated Henry's Star Chamber, and the apprentices quickly looked for the infiltrators. They found a group of Englishmen signing [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] documents and eliminated them. As a reward, King Henry offered the Assassins a seat in the Star Chamber.<ref name="ACBH - Contracts"/><ref name="ACPL - Contracts"/>
