Servant gave evidence buck prophesied Henry’s death = treason, so accused of treason. Court that condemned him was presided over by D of Norfolk not wol. So fall of buck due to Henry

A

1518 Wolsey was worried about the influence of young nobles on the king so he infiltrated man Richard pace into minions to report back

Henry the eighth missed them so may returned 1520 and given title of gentleman of privy chamber
Tried to reduce power again and sent them abroad to lead the armies in 1522 and 23 = 3 pronged attack

Q

1513 subsidy

A

Developed to provide the parliamentary taxation and extraordinary revenue. It replaced the old system of 15ths and 10ths tax made in 1300s based on property and had been fixed so did not increase with inflation so overtime yield became less
Instead of using local commissars to assess taxpayers wealth, wol set up a national committee that he headed himself
The subsidy was more realistic as was based on accurate valuation of taxpayers wealth, their property and their ability to pay . The amount paid was one shilling for every pound.
Collected 4 times between 1513 - 23 made £300k
1513 -16 made £170K compared to £90k with 15ths and 10ths
Resented by propertied classes as they had to pay the most

A

Parl haven’t finished paying last lost
Decided to raise a tax. Parl wouldn’t agree to it so wol decided to bypass parl and collect directly from laity and clergy - causes rebellion in E Anglia and refused to pay
Wol backtracked and may it a benevolence from those that could pay
Result = rebellion in E Anglia and refusal to pay elsewhere and rebels won
Wol had to take blame even though king had caused the discontent by planning an expensive war
Amicable grant abandoned and leaders of rebellion pardoned

Kildares dismissal 1534 led to major rebellion which was only suppressed with difficulty and great expense.
The subsequent attempt to bring Irish govn more directly under eng control failed and Ireland became an increasing expense to the crown.
An invasion of the pale by two Irish nobles, O’Neil and O’Donnell in 1539 was eventually controlled
1541 the govn tried to pacify Ireland by - est it as a separate kingdom under eng law, making counties out of Irish chieftains and granting Irish nobles peerage titles and same legal protection as eng counterparts
