Governement
The council learned
-
-
It made the system of bonds and recognisances work effectively, thus helping to ensure loyalty and raise finance
Brays associate in the council learned was sir Richard empson- a firedlcu ambitious lawyers and bureaucrat.
-
Empson and dudely were able and conscientious bureaucrats, whose ruthless extraction of money from the kings subjects made them feared and unpopular, and created enemies out of some of the kings other advisers
An offshoot of the council, this body developed during the second half of Henry’s reign, initially under bray
-
The council
Under henry VII the council was a permanent body with core membership, though with no established procedures
-
-
-
-
Non councillors could also advise the king- for example Henry’s mother lady Margaret Beaufort, acted as unofficial adviser
-
Court and household
-
He could retreat into this, protected by his most intimate servants; this made it more difficult for anyone to gain or ragin the kings favour and also cut henry off from many of the kings traditional contacts at court
rewards and status were distributed through the court; courtiers enjoyed paid positions or the right to receive free food, and it was there that the support of the kings or other influential persons could be obtained
It was a focus for personal monarchy- as system in which a persons power was determined by his relationship with the monarch
In 1495, after the involvement of sir William Stanley, the lord chamberlain, in the perkin warbneck conspiracy, Henry remodeled the chamber as the privy chamber
-
Parliament
-
Only the king could call parliament, and henry demonstrated his right to rule by calling his first parliament in November 1985, and only seven during his reign five of these met in the first ten years and only two in the reaming 14 years; this shows that power centred on the crown and when henry felt more secure, parliament could be dispensed with
It compromised of the House of Commons and house of lord, the House of Lords was more important
-
Parliament appears in general to have operated effectively under henry VII with the king accepting its decision
Summary
He kept law and orde through the nobility ( helped at a local level by justices of the peace) while his system of bonds and erdcognisances enforced obedience ; a network of spies ensured the performance of both
A key focus was the improvement of royal finances, in which he achieved considerable success though at the cost ofn rising unpopularity and at the risk of alienating the Group on whose his throne most depended
Henry VII largely maintained the traditional structures of government: however there were developments such as the establishment of the privy chamber in 1495, and the creation of the council learned in the law
