WHO GOT POWER AND PATRONAGE FROM EDIV
SIBLINGS - PURPLE
FRIENDS - ORANGE
FAM - YELLOW
KIDS - GREEN
THE OBSCURE AND UNACKNOWLEDGED REGION OF EAST ANGLIA - PINK
1476 - TURQUOISE
- method of rule in second reign: CENTRALISED AUTHORITY
(like Ed 1, but better so people liked it)
- overall gist- in his second Reign Edward bestowed his patronage to a small group of elites- mostly his family or extremely close friends.
- Howeverrrrrr this left an inadequate power-base and created too many enemies for little Edward to deal with???
-
-
The Prince of Wales
- Following Clarence's arrest and death, the earldom of Warwick that Clarence had acquired, were held by Edward's three year old son.
- The lands of the principality of Wales and the earldom of Chester
Council was made in 1473, Headed by Earl Rivers, in order to manage the region in the name of Prince Edward. # This took place because of Pembroke's continued inability to keep order. The Council had wide ranging judicial powers in Wales, the Marches and the adjacent counties.
His Household and Council were based at Ludlow, from where the Principality of Wales, the Welsh Marches and the Princes Duchy of Cornwall could be managed.
Greys and Woodvilles (Close family)
- MIdlands
- Wales
- Lord Grey in South west
- Outside Wales, the Woodvilles had little influence in major decisions.
- Edward allowed the Woodvilles to have primary power in Wales and the Welsh Marches but they had little influence outside of Wales
- Edward rested quite a lot of power on his family in the second reign
- Edward was largely master of the midlands following Clarence's arrest in 1477 and execution in 1478, with his power divided between his family, his wife's family and his loyal servant Hastings. He was willing to kill his own brother and consequently one of the most powerful nobles - he is largely feared
- The base in Wales was not the Woodville's own, it was created for the use of the King's (as similar to Gloucester's northern hegemony, which was a regional command subordinated to Edward's authority)
- Wales' border required Edward's influence largely to rectify the new earl of Pembroke's poor handling of the land
-
-
Warwick's Kidz
ED LEGAL FRAUD #
Deprived Warwick's Widow and his male heir (George. Neville) and degraded from his Dukedom and proposed marriage to King's Daughter
LORD DINHAM (unimportant member of the gentry -provides boats to get Ed to Calais, prominent member of Yorkist council)
-
BUCKINGHAM
(Henry Stafford)
- married to a Woodville, his family had been a major force in Wales - it looked like he was going to be allowed to rule in Wale but he was a bit unstable #
- From 1476 Edward decided to enagage in a policy of systematic exclusion from authority of Buckingham - personal instability
-In the North Midlands Buckingham 's sphere off power was subordinated to Hastings
1476- Deliberate policy of exclusion of people considered ........
- Pembroke looses estate and title
- other people loose titles, influence, estates.
- BUT DIDN'T KILL BUCKINGHAM (probably a mistake on Edwards part) #
ANNE Duches of Exeter divorced her Lancastrian husband and kept his lands 1472 and then married Thomas St Leger . #
HASTINGS
- Commanded the east and northern midland. Had influence in Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
Made Steward of Clarence’s land in Tutbury (a key seat of the Duchy of Lancaster). However, Edward then took this from Clarence for himself, and put it under Hastings’ supervision. #
so it wasn’t really Hasting’s land he just looked after it for Edward like a good buddy
- Hastings was also Commander of Calais, replacing Warwick.
- Hastings ' dominance in the north midlands was designed to enable him to restore stability to this region where the Duchy had for long been the dominant political force
-
The Earl of Shrewsbury forgiven for his wavering in the crisis, was given offic in North Wales but died not long after in 1473 leaving an infant heir
OBSCURE AND UNACKNOWLEDGED TEAM OF EAST ANGLIA
- NORFOLK
- SUFFOLK
- LORD HOWARD
- Sir John Howard ( an East Anglian Knight and household member of the royal affinity) became a prominent royal councillor ( local officer, member of special judicial commission + King's representative) in the second reign.
- PASTONS
-
Hastings began to become more important to the Pastons (as part of the expanding affinity in the South)
STANLEY
- In charge of Lancashire and Cheshire
- The Stanleys' hegemony was largely protected by the King under the aegis of the royal Duchy of Lancaster, despite most northern magnates looking towards Gloucester as he was made the king's lituenant in the north in 1480
In 1475, Edward and his brother attempted to settle the violent feud between the Stanleys and the Harringtons
The Earl of Northumberland
showed some hostility to Gloucester but in 1473 accepted an agreement in 1474 as he was guaranteed the traditional Percy warden of the East March. #
By the late 1470s, Edward and his immediate family including: Chester, Wales, Cornwall, Lancaster, York, Norfolk, Neville of Salisbury, Neville of Warwick, Rivers, Grey of Groby, Bonville, etc......., owned many of the great estates #
When Richard and George fought, unsurprisingly Edward supported Richard and forced George to submit.
What happened to Warwick's Land?
Two large Earldoms of Warwick (West midlands) and Salisbury (North)
Inherited Neville property
Clarence married to one sister and Gloucester to the other
NORTH needed to be brought under authority - disordered & disruptive # #
Neither brother was content with what Edward awarded them; the main dispute was regarding the Beauchamp inheritance as Clarence had a claim through his late wife Isabel, daughter of Warwick and the dowager Countess of Warwick.
But Gloucester wished to marry Anne, their younger daughter, meaning he would have a claim too.
But Anne was Clarence's "Ward" meaning he held power over her future marriage- which meant he wouldn't let his brother marry Anne because of the lands.
however- Gloucester found Anne and married her in 1472. # #
-
The Earl of Essex was reinstated in his position as Treasurer, as well as the "four tellers" of the Exchequer: Sir John Fogge, Sir John Scott, Thomas Vaughan and Richard Fowler.this was due to Edward regarding the Readeption of Henry VI as a "non-event" #
