25
Q

Threat of Alternative ruler was relative to their popularity…

A

Matilda had strong claim - 1128 Henry I makes nobles swear allegiance to her as alternative ruler

Unlike: Native rebellions 1068-1071, Edgar Aetheling a mere figure head (only 14 in 1066)

1095 - Stephen of Aumule an alternative forwarded by barons in protest of royal interference

1117-1119, 1123-1124 - William Clito never strong or popular despite white ship disaster strengthening his claim

26
Q

Opposition to centralisation - Royal interference was dislike by Barons

Stephen and John follow reigns of growing centralisation and thus recieve the brunt of baronial frustrations.

Also advances in law may mean that Barons were more aware of their rights - Diffidatio the right ot rebel.

A

1075 - Revolt of the Earls, Roger, Earl of Hereford, resented William sending Sheriffs to hold pleas on his land

1095 - Robert of Mowbray resented officials exercising jurisdiction on his lands. Plunders Norwegian ships and refuses to attend trial.

1173-74 - Supported by Barons who resented centralisation and control (Cartae Baronum, Justices in Eyre) of Henry II

1215 - Magna Carter an attempt to curtail creeping royal power. Years of build up - Angevin Despotism, Harsh Taxation

27
Q

Continental Possessions created a cross channel Kingdom with divided loyalties/interests for Barons

A

1088 + 1090s Rebellions against Rufus - Barons with strong connections in Normandy support Curthose as an alternate ruler (6/10 magnates)

1117-1119, 11123-4
