95 Words1 Page

After his dad, William the Conqueror, kicked the bucket in 1087, Henry's more seasoned siblings Robert and William Rufus acquired Normandy and England, individually, while Henry was landless.

A settlement between the two affirmed Henry as ruler, yet it was brief; Henry attacked Normandy and crushed Robert.

    1985 Words  | 8 Pages

    Throughout his reign, Henry VII attempted and was partially successful in strengthening royal finances. He aimed to have a stronger financial base that would give him power and strength if there was a rebellion, and also to create a stable treasury for his dynasty.

    From the commencement of Henry VII’s reign, it was vital that Henry established his dynasty, by securing his position on the throne, and one interpretation shown in Source 2 is that Henry’s control over finance proved a great aid in not only gaining financial power, but in gaining political power. However some historians have come to refer to Henry as the ‘miserly’ king due to his expenditure, as shown in Source 1, which, when analysing this source can be viewed as an unrepresentative and unconvincing interpretation. Firstly, Source 1 creates the image of Henry’s attitude towards finance being miserly, through both the picture and the provenance, with the idea of Henry VII building a lavish chapel.

    1545 Words  | 7 Pages

    ‘The consolidation of royal authority, in the years 1487-1509, was due to Henry VII’s control over the nobility.’ Explain why you agree or disagree with this view. It can be argued to a certain extent that the consolidation of royal authority for Henry VII, in the years 1487-1509, was a result of control over the nobility. The challenge lied in the ability to decrease their power without alienating them whilst removing their position of threat. However, there were other contributory factors in Henry’s consolidation of his royal authority, such as his diplomatic skills in dealing with foreign powers and the indispensable use of royal finances.

    Medieval primary sources are NOT always from a male, victorious perspective. This can be seen through the two primary sources of William I or William the Conqueror who ruled over the Anglo-Saxons (now known as England) after a victory in the Battle of Hastings. The two sources show the two opposing perspectives of William the Conqueror; the first of these is an extract from the Anglo-Saxon chronicle which shows England’s perspective on the losing side while the second is also an extract from book called Gesta Guillelmi II Ducis Normannorum ("The Deeds of William, Duke of the Normans") by William of Poitiers from Normandy which explores the victorious perspective of William the Conqueror. “The deeds of William, Duke of the Normans”, maintains
