A
  • Had: money, land, influence

- Power had been able to grow as lacked monitoring during War of the Roses

38

12 (but many of his 10,000-15,000 men fought under nobles)

39
Q

What method did Henry VII use to consolidate power over the nobles?

A

Carrot + stick (mix of rewards + threats)

40
Q

What was the pattern of Henry VII’s trust towards the nobles? And how can this be shown through number of attainders issued?

A

1485-1486: Understandably cautious - 56 attainders
(MANY AT FIRST PARLIAMENT AFTER BOSWORTH)

1486-1500: More trusting - 8 attainders
(BUT EXCEPTION OF 1495 STANLEY SCANDAL - 24 ATTAINDERS)

1504-1509: Excessively mistrusting - 51 attainders

41
Q

Why did Henry VII have an initially cautious stance towards nobles?

A
  • Had a turbulent period in exile + wanted reign to be secure
  • Didn’t give anybody automatic trust
  • Ideally wanted those in power to have personally proven their loyalty to him, but knew he sometimes had to keep existing nobles, so treated them with caution (monitoring using JPs and then carrot + stick method)
42
Q

Why did Henry VII have to keep some nobles? Give an example

A

Needed nobles to provide him with an army + existing nobles (e.g. Earl of Northumberland) knew their people + how to maintain control in their area

43
Q

Why did Henry VII’s stance on nobles become more trusting?

A
  • Became more aware of nobles, who had chance to personally prove their loyalty + be rewarded in the personal monarchy way he liked
44
Q

What is a personal monarchy?

A

Positions of power are reflective of good personal relationships with the monarch, rather than good lineage

45
Q

Why did Henry VII’s stance towards the nobles change?

A

1495: William Stanley betrayal - nobles cannot all be trusted
1502: Arthur dies
1503: E.of.Y dies

Henry VII becomes harsher in all manners, including towards nobles, as he feels more alone + has greater paranoia of threats

46
Q

What are some ‘carrot’ methods used by Henry VII to consolidate power over the nobles?

  • Patronage (e.g. members of King’s Council + Privy Chamber)
  • Prestige (e.g. Order of the Garter)

  • 1486 Parliament
  • Made King the majority landowner, (according to Gunn, multiplied crown lands by 5)
  • Generally consolidated power (as land = power)
49
Q

What was patronage? How was it used as a ‘carrot’ for nobles? Give an example

A
  • Patronage = giving positions of power, land, etc to supporters, as a result of their good, loyal service
  • Henry VII gave patronage in a number of ways, e.g. positions in the King’s Council + the Privy Chamber
  • E.g. Jasper Tudor (uncle + loyal supporter) made Duke of Bedford + had Welsh estates restored after Bosworth
50
Q

What was prestige? How was it used as a ‘carrot’ for nobles? Give an example

A
  • Prestige = giving honour/title (but not land or actual power!) to supporters, as a result of their good, loyal service
  • Henry VII most commonly did this via the ‘Order of the Garter’
  • Made 37 ‘Knights of the Garter’, which Chrimes called an “ultimate mark of honour”
  • E.g. John de Vere Earl of Oxford (supporter in exile + main commander of Henry’s troops in Battle of Bosworth) made Knight of the Garter
51
Q

What was reversing the Acts of Attainder? How was this used as a ‘carrot’ for nobles? Give an example

A
  • Reversing Acts of Attainder = returning land + accompanying money, that was removed due to disobedience
  • E.g. Thomas Howard Earl of Surrey, attainted + imprisoned for fighting alongside his late father John Howard Duke of Norfolk, but had this reversed and title regained in 1489 when he swore oath of allegiance to King. This carrot worked - helped to suppress the Yorkshire Rising 1489 - but King always had some caution - never fully restored to Duke of Norfolk
52
Q

What are Bonds + Recognisances ? How were they used as a ‘stick’ for nobles? Give an example

A
  • Bonds = written contract of expectation of good behaviour/certain task, if not fulfilled lost money associated with contract
  • Recognisances = recognition of existing debt to King, could be asked to repay at any time with financial penalty
  • Henry VII used them to gain loyalty, by threatening financial ruin
  • 36/62 leading noble families
  • E.g. Earl of Northumberland - £10,000 bond after Bosworth to guarantee his loyalty, if broken had to pay £10,000
53
Q

What were the Acts of Retainer? How were they used as a ‘stick’ for nobles? Give an example

A
  • Retainer = man in livery (uniform) acting in noble’s personal army
  • 1485: At parliament nobles swore not to illegally retain
  • 1504: Retaining limited, required licenses, fined £5 per month for every illegal retainer
  • Prevented the threat of uprising from noble with a large army through financial threat
  • Needed some retaining present, so they could fight for the King
  • E.g. Lord Burgavenny - in 1506 charged £70,550 for illegally retaining 471 men
54
Q

What were the Acts of Attainder? How were they used as a ‘stick’ for nobles? Give an example

A
  • Acts of Attainder = disobedient nobles stripped of title + land (+ the money + power that went with this)
  • Threat of such great loss hoped to keep nobles loyal
  • Passed many at 1st Parliament : 7th Nov 1485
  • E.g. Earl of Surrey
