James Tuchet, 7th Baron Audley (c. 1463 – 28 June 1497) was a British nobleman and the only lord to fully join the Cornish rebellion of 1497 opposing the rule of Henry VII of England.

[7] James himself had, as a child, been made a Knight Bachelor by Edward IV when the latter's young son was created Prince of Wales.

[9] Nevertheless, having succeeding to the Audley barony on the death of his father, on 26 September 1490, James Tuchet was called to join King Henry's expeditionary force against the French in 1492.

[13] In early 1497, King Henry levied heavy taxes to raise an army against the Scots and the Yorkist rebellion of the pretender Perkin Warbeck.

[18] The rebel army from Cornwall was led by a blacksmith, Michael Joseph (known as An Gof), and a lawyer, Thomas Flamank.

[21] His exact qualities in this role are unclear but it was to turn out that he failed to provide a sound strategy or create a unified sense of purpose, and militarily he led the army only to defeat.

The force approached London via Salisbury and Winchester, and then skirted to the south, via Guildford, evidently in the hope of gaining popular support in Kent.

Reaching Blackheath near Deptford, south-east London, they were opposed by an army of King Henry's under Lord Daubeny and the Earl of Oxford.

On Wednesday 28 June 1497, he was transported to Tower Hill on display with his coat of arms painted on paper upside-down and torn,[24] and there beheaded.
