5 Henry VI:
The Nobility
- The king was not solely
responsible for the Wars of
the Roses
- The Duke of York + others of the
nobility (both Yorkist + Lancastrian)
should also take some of the blame
- The 'good governance'
depended as much on the
ruled as on the ruler
- The relationship between the
monarch + the nobility was crucial
for peace, prosperity + political
stability were to be maintained
- The King could not rule
the kingdom alone
- He needed the advice, co-operation, experience
+ local knowledge of the nobility to help him
govern every corner of the realm
- If the relationship between the ruler + the ruled
broke down, chaos would, even civil war, may
ensue
