Question

Lisa Brooks's book about this conflict, Our Beloved (15[1])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 (15[1])of a leader in this war, Weetamoo, led English 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. (10[1])The hanging 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]
