Question

Lisa Brooks's book about this conflict, Our Beloved Kin, describes James Printer's near-lynching and his eventual type-setting of a history of this war. William Hubbard's writings about the brutality of this conflict inspired the title of The Name of War, a history of this conflict by Jill Lepore. A mistranslation of the title of a leader in this war, Weetamoo, led English (15[1])historians to call her a chieftain's wife rather than chief herself. The display of Weetamoo's severed head in (*) Taunton was related in a history of this war written by Increase Mather. The hanging (10[1])of John Sassamon’s killers began this conflict, during which Mary Rowlandson was held captive. For 10 points, name this conflict between New Englanders and Wampanoags, who were led by a chieftain once known as Metacom. ■END■

ANSWER: King Philip's War [accept synonyms for “war” including King Philip's Rebellion; accept Metacomet in place of “King Philip” before mentioned]
