Q

What are some ways that henry consolidated his throne

A
  • dated reign from 21st august 1485, a day before BoB, so anyone on Yorkist side was a traitor to the throne
  • publicly rewarded his key supporters, handed out 11 knighthoods
  • detained earl of Warwick who had greater claim to throne
  • made key appointments to his council and household e.g. made William Stanley lord chamberlain
  • made coronation before first parliament so his right to throne would be seen as hereditary
  • he established acts of attainder on Yorkists to get money for the throne
  • henry married Elizabeth of York
  • birth of Arthur
