                                                  • Wolsey had a reason for this. The 'minions' had access to wherever the Kng went and are able to prevent certain people from seeing him. They could potentially influence the King .

                                                    Anmerkungen:

                                                    • The Eltham Ordinances recorgnised the chaotic finacnes of the Privy Chamber and made government more efficient.

                                                        Anmerkungen:

                                                        • During the reign of Wolsey, the Star Chamber's use was strengthened by encouraging people to bring their cases against nobles or officials, who misused their power. The cases heard went up to 120/year.
                                                        1. few major changes/reforms
                                                          1. personal reforms

                                                            Anmerkungen:

                                                            • Wolsey was an untrained lawyer and he did not seek to set up a new system, therefore his reforms were more personal and unlikely to continue after his fall. It could be argued that Wolsey strengthened the Star Chamber to attack nobles, who are potential rivals to Wolsey's position.
