How did Henry VII consolidate his position?
Early moves to consolidate
Dated the start of his reign to the day before Bosworth Field (21/08/85) so
those who fought against him could be accused of treason (links to
controlling the nobility).
Appointed his most trusted family and friends to be his
trusted advisors (his mum, Margaret Beaufort, his uncle
Jasper Tudor, step-dad Lord Stanley as well fellow Brittany
exiles eg Reginald Bray and Giles Daubeney)
Married Elizabeth of York and created the Tudor Rose
symbolising unity between the warring houses
Improved royal finances (view
separate resource on more detail
for this)
He moved the administration of Royal finances from the
slow inefficient Exchequer system to his direct
supervision in the Chamber (Eg creating the Court of
General Surveyors which increased revenue from Crown
land from £11,700 in 1486 to £42,000 in 1508)
He increased scrutiny of accounts for his
ordinary income (eg his regular income from
sources such as Customs Duties, Crown lands
and feudal dues). A good example is the way the
Council Learned in Law chased feudal dues so a
due like the annual income from wardship rose
from £350 in 1487 to £6000 in 1507)
He managed income from “extraordinary” revenue very well (extraordinary
revenue was the money the king was entitled to collect for one-off expenses) as
there appeared to be very little resistance to his demands for money eg Charles VIII
agreeing to pay arrears for the Brittany pension under the Treaty of Etaples netted
Henry £159,000 and, as an indication of how secure he felt on the throne towards
the end of his reign he managed to collect £30,000 from the nobility as a due for
knighting his son Arthur in 1504. Arthur had died two years previously in 1502!
Maintained a steady relationship with Parliament
Henry did not ask Parliament for money for expensive foreign wars, he didn’t want
to build resentment among his new subjects so, instead of summoning Parliament
to raise money, he found different ways to fill the Royal coffers eg via bonds and
recognisances. He also didn’t enact legislation on a large scale, most parliamentary
business was passing acts of attainder, this meant there was little debate or possible
resistance towards Henry from parliament.
Henry was very lucky, especially at the start of his reign
The noble families that had been so troublesome during the Wars of the
Roses, had been reduced in number. By the time of Bosworth Field,
there were only 60 noble families left, many of whom were on the verge
of dying out because of the lack of a male heir, or had fled abroad after
Henry’s victory, forfeiting their land in England to the Crown.
Unlike his predecessors, Henry VI and
Edward IV, he was an only child, he had
no threat to his rule from any brothers
etc
England had been in the midst of an economic
depression throughout the 1400s, luckily for
Henry, the country appeared to be pulling out of
it gradually by 1485 meaning he was untroubled
by large-scale civil unrest.
Controlled the nobility
