How did Henry VII consolidate his position?Early moves to consolidateDated the start of his reign to the day before Bosworth Field (21/08/85) sothose who fought against him could be accused of treason (links tocontrolling the nobility).Appointed his most trusted family and friends to be histrusted advisors (his mum, Margaret Beaufort, his uncleJasper Tudor, step-dad Lord Stanley as well fellow Brittanyexiles eg Reginald Bray and Giles Daubeney)Married Elizabeth of York and created the Tudor Rosesymbolising unity between the warring housesImproved royal finances (viewseparate resource on more detailfor this)He moved the administration of Royal finances from theslow inefficient Exchequer system to his directsupervision in the Chamber (Eg creating the Court ofGeneral Surveyors which increased revenue from Crownland from £11,700 in 1486 to £42,000 in 1508)He increased scrutiny of accounts for hisordinary income (eg his regular income fromsources such as Customs Duties, Crown landsand feudal dues). A good example is the way theCouncil Learned in Law chased feudal dues so adue like the annual income from wardship rosefrom £350 in 1487 to £6000 in 1507)He managed income from “extraordinary” revenue very well (extraordinaryrevenue was the money the king was entitled to collect for one-off expenses) asthere appeared to be very little resistance to his demands for money eg Charles VIIIagreeing to pay arrears for the Brittany pension under the Treaty of Etaples nettedHenry £159,000 and, as an indication of how secure he felt on the throne towardsthe end of his reign he managed to collect £30,000 from the nobility as a due forknighting his son Arthur in 1504. Arthur had died two years previously in 1502!Maintained a steady relationship with ParliamentHenry did not ask Parliament for money for expensive foreign wars, he didn’t wantto build resentment among his new subjects so, instead of summoning Parliamentto raise money, he found different ways to fill the Royal coffers eg via bonds andrecognisances. He also didn’t enact legislation on a large scale, most parliamentarybusiness was passing acts of attainder, this meant there was little debate or possibleresistance towards Henry from parliament.Henry was very lucky, especially at the start of his reignThe noble families that had been so troublesome during the Wars of theRoses, had been reduced in number. By the time of Bosworth Field,there were only 60 noble families left, many of whom were on the vergeof dying out because of the lack of a male heir, or had fled abroad afterHenry’s victory, forfeiting their land in England to the Crown.Unlike his predecessors, Henry VI andEdward IV, he was an only child, he hadno threat to his rule from any brothersetcEngland had been in the midst of an economicdepression throughout the 1400s, luckily forHenry, the country appeared to be pulling out ofit gradually by 1485 meaning he was untroubledby large-scale civil unrest.Controlled the nobilityThis is dealt with on a separate mindmapClique duas vezes aqui para editar o textoClique e arraste este botão para criar um novo tópico
