effect of rebellions on government and society chapter 3
crown servants
all crown servants who were the targets of attack survived.
HENRY VIII - Wolsey's relationship with Henry VIII deteriorated 4 years after the Amicable Grant rebellion, keeping his position until 1529. Henry did not remove nor punish Cranmer, Crowmwell, Audley or Rich after the POG, as he did not see them as responsible for the rebellion. Wolsey was actually replaced by Cromwell, who brought about positive change in Henry's government.
Cromwell remained Henry's principal secretary after the rebellion and he was granted monastic lands that were revoked from the Church.
Cranmer continued his role as the Archbishop of Canterbury. Rich was rewarded with the office of Chancellor of the Court of Augmentations. Audley remained as Lord Chancellor.
EDWARD VI - Duke of Somerset was the only minister to fall from office after a rebellion, and he was overthrown by his fellow councillors rather than by the rebels. However this was actually a positive for the government as he was replaced by Northumberland who brought about positive change.
religous policy changes
Most Tudor monarchs rather than reverting back on their new religious policies after popular discontent, actually made their policies much harsher in the opposite direction of the favour of the rebels.
HENRY VIII POG - Made Henry even more determined to sever links with the Roman Catholic Church. Cromwell injuctions published in 1538 which further confirmed the government's reformed stance on saints, holy days and pilgrimages. Cromwell decided to dissolve even smaller monasteries between 1537-8.
EDWARD VI - similar to Henry VIII, refused to recall the new English prayer book. Cranmer decided to publish an even more Protestant book only 3 years after the Western rebellion.
ELIZABETH - was not intimidated by the Northern Earls rebellion in 1569, in fact in 1571 penal laws were introduced specifically against the Catholic rebels.
socioeconomic policy changes and political reforms
HENRY VII - did not collect the 1489 and 1497 taxes and the King did not attempt to introduce a tax novelty again.
HENRY VIII - Earls of Sussex and Derby were sent out to examine landlord-tenant relations after the POG. Seemed to be successful, as no further disturbances occurred in the region in the 1540s. Wanted to build up support in the Northern counties. He appointed lesser gentry as deputy wardens and the king assumed overall responsibility.
Council of the North strengthened his political hold and its judicial and administrative functions were expanded.
EDWARD VI - Imprisonment of the Duke of Somerset. Declared a felony if 12 or more people attempted to destroy enclosures, parks, barns. It became treason if 40 or more people gathered for more that 2 hours.
The Subsidy and Vagrant Acts were repealed and an enclosure act was passed which restricted landlord's rights over the commons.
ELIZABETH - Act against the decaying of towns and houses of husbandry, Act for the maintenance of husbandry and tillage. All bishops were obliged to give sermons about the good work the government was doing to support the poor.
Reforms to the Council of the North occurred in 1572. She made her cousin president of the council, and he ensured that JPs enforced the penal laws against Catholics and removed illegal enclosures. Northern Earls rebellion revealed problems with militia and better training was introduced in 1573.
foreign affairs
HENRY VII - Yorkshire uprising distracted Henry from preparing to go to war with France over Brittany. Warbeck's rebellion affected Henry's relationship with Burgundy, France the Holy Roman Empire and Scotland. Henry signed Treaties of Ayton and Etaples as a result.
Preparations to go to war with Scotland were badly affected by the Cornish rebellion in 1497, with troops being recalled.
HENRY VIII - Amicable Grant rebellion affected Henry's plan to inavde France in 1525. Without the money, he could not raise the troops and equip them for a summer campaign.
EDWARD VI - 1549 rebellions had a serious impact on Somerset's foreign designs and was struggling to meet the costs of war.
ELIZABETH I - Spain recognised the strategic opportunities that Ireland presented. Whenever rebellions broke out, Spain sent money, troops and priests to assist the Irish, further damaged Anglo-Spanish relations.
