Q

How successful was Northumberlands financial policy?

A
  • Relatively successful as he made significant moves towards ending debasement, reducing expenditure, and reducing debts.
  • Solved the debasment issue in the short term, but would have been better if he had just rebated the coinage, something Elizabeth had to do in 1560.
  • Although expenditure was reduced, particularly in comparison to Somerset he spent excessive amounts of money on new houses, Northumberland still felt the need to reward his supporters financially with grants.
  • Reduced debt, but weakend thr long term financial stability of the crown as he sold crown lands.
  • So overall there was only really short term fiancial succes, but considering the dire financially situation he had inherited, he did his best

Edward, then Mary and her heirs, then Elizabeth and her heirs.

80

A

Yes

81
Q

What is a personal monarchy?

A

Where the King had a great deal of influence, but much of his power depended on his presence, personality, and ability to convey power.

82
Q

Why did Somerset’s ignoring of the Regency Council and assumption of power have the potential to cause unrest?

A

Because it could encourage others to challenge Somerset’s dominance.

83
Q

Who did the rising anti-Somerset faction include?

A
  • Northumberland, Paget, Wriothesly.
  • Northumberland, because he wanted to advance his own power.
  • Paget, because he was fed up with Somerset’s mistakes and Somerset not following his advice.
  • Wriothesley, because he opposed Somerset’s religious changes.
84
Q

What is some evidence of instability during Somerset’s rule?

A
  • Somerset had to crush many revolts.
  • Lords and councillors were always trying to secretly overthrow Somerset.
  • Warwick was leading the opposition against Somerset.
  • There were publications of proclamations against Somerset.
85
Q

Why didn’t the removal of Somerset guarantee the triumph of Warwick?

A
  • The council contained a majority of religious [Catholic] conservatives who did not trust Warwick.
  • So Warwick had to bring in his own allies and remove opponents so that he had a Protestant majority on the council.
  • In Early December, there was a Catholic plot to remove Warwick, using the argument that he was a friend of Somerset.
  • By January 1550, the leading Catholic members of the Council, the earls of Arundel and Southampton, had been dismissed, and Warwick had been made Lord President of the Council.
  • Warwick also placed his own supporters in important positions around Edward to further secure his position.
  • However, these developments also forced Warwick to ally with the more religiously radical embers of the council, which later proved to impact religious developments.
86
Q

Despite the accusations against Somerset, is it possible that some of the accusations weer fabricated in order to justify his execution i.e. personal reasons?

A

Yes

87
Q

Who was the driving force behind the altering of the succession in 1553?

A

Northumberland, as he wanted to increase his power

88
Q

Did Northumberland arrange the marriage of his son, Guildford Dudley, to Lady Jane Grey?

A

Yes

89
Q

Why is there evidence to suggest that the attempts to alter the succession in 1553 were driven by Edward and not Northumberland?

A
  • because Edward now had a greater role in government and was attending privy council meetings, and setting some agendas.
  • this was due to Northumberland recognising Edward’s skill and therefore becoming keen to involve him in government.
  • also, Edward was committed to Protestantism and so in order to preserve religious reform, he may have wanted to exclude Mary, and Elizabeth because she had not yet married and so there was no guarantee that she’d have any heirs in the near future who would carry on a Protestant settlement.
  • The plot was poorly managed and an experienced soldier like Northumberland would have ensured that there had been sufficient forces available to ensure control, but instead he had dismissed his professional force in 1552.
  • Northumberland would have ensured that Mary was captured and unable to raise forces- instead, Mary managed to escape to East Anglia.
  • Northumberland would have launched a Propaganda campaign to prepare the nation for success.
90
Q

When was Lady Jane Grey proclaimed Queen?

A

10th of July 1553

91
Q

Why did Northumberland see no other choice but to leave London and confront the challenge of Mary?

A

Because Mary had raised a large force

92
Q

What was the problem with Northumberland leaving London to confron Mary?

A
  • His departure gave members of the Privy Council the chance to reconsider their views, as they’d previously been forced to agree to the devise. Most of them soon declared for Mary.
93
Q

Why was Northumberland forced to abandon his march towards Framlingham, Mary’s base, and retreat to Cambridge, where he proclaimed Mary as Queen?

A
  • because Northumberland had quickly lost a lot of support.
  • Many men deserted, despite Northumberland raising their pay, and he failed to gain any further support along the way.
94

For Wyatt’s rebellion, is it true that the initial plan was a 4-pronged rising based in Devon, Leicestershire, the Welsh borders, and Kent, but only the attack in Kent rose?
