How could nobles help the crown suppress rebellion?

By raising forces from their tenants and affinity.

How did the sale of monastic lands strengthen the Tudors?

It created a large class of gentry and nobility whose title to their estates depended on the Reformation settlement continuing.

What were the risks of patronage?

Concentrating it in one faction excluded others and bred resentment, as with the Percys and Nevilles before 1569 and Essex in the 1590s.

What was the role of the court?

It was the centre of politics: access to the monarch determined influence, so magnates needed to be present or represented there rather than in their own countries.

Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

1
How could nobles help the crown suppress rebellion?
Model answer
By raising forces from their tenants and affinity.
2
How did patronage bind the political nation to the crown?
Model answer
Offices, wardships, monastic lands, leases and titles were distributed through the court, so ambition ran through loyalty to the monarch.
3
How did the sale of monastic lands strengthen the Tudors?
Model answer
It created a large class of gentry and nobility whose title to their estates depended on the Reformation settlement continuing.
4
What were the risks of patronage?
Model answer
Concentrating it in one faction excluded others and bred resentment, as with the Percys and Nevilles before 1569 and Essex in the 1590s.
5
How did the crown use titles and honours?
Model answer
Sparingly. The Tudors created few peers, preferring to rely on gentry and household men, which kept the nobility small and dependent.
6
What was the role of the court?
Model answer
It was the centre of politics: access to the monarch determined influence, so magnates needed to be present or represented there rather than in their own countries.
