How effectively did Henry VII deal with his problems
royal finances (2)
he greatly increased his taxes hen he switched from exchequer to chamber finance
he greatly increased the taxes over his time as king
very effective
a person called Dudley helped him gain a lot of money
eventually Henry was making 40,000 pounds a year which was above most other kings
law and government (3)
he also had a court who accounted for all of Henry's public appearances which was vital in getting him popularity and respect
the star chamber act was an act that focused on stopping and preventing large crimes and plots to kill the king
he used kings council that consisted of 12 important government member who each represented a part of the government and the 12 represented the main 200. this meant that he could make a more structured decision rather than getting opinions from all 2000 members
the star chamber act was run by Dudley and Empson who were experienced educated lawyers
quite effective
ensuring loyalty from nobles (1)
he set up recognizances and bonds which meant that he strip the nobles of all their money and nobility if they broke the rules like hosting an army without paying. This implies that henry had a lot of power over his nobles.
highly effective
nobles were strictly not allowed to have an army unless they paid Henry a certain amount of money
Henry would strip land of his nobles and then say that they had to assure loyalty to him otherwise they would lose everything
he replaced nobles that were against him in the war so that they would not betray him
with young nobles he would take away most of their land and money until they were old enough and could be trusted
dealing with pretenders to the throne (4)
rebel yorkists landed in 1487 and marched across Yorkshire and Lancashire and the nearby nobles ignored them. Henry fought them at stoke and barely won the battle
in 1491 a person called Perkin Warbeck appeared and pretended to be Richard duke of york and he was assisted by Margaret of Burgundy. He was soon supported by many nobles
Lambert Simnel pretended to be and was crowned Edward the sixth in 1487 this was dobe by rebel yorkists who were previously allies with Richard III
his first rebellion was by Lovell and Stanford in April 1486 which was very short and didn't get any support
not very effective
Perkin appeared a few years later and Henry was so scared that he executed 2 of his closest advisers. James king of Scotland took Perkin and Perkin joined the Cornish rebellion but was caught and hanged in 1499
