How would you answer this question? ‘The Elizabethan religious settlement was successfully established in the years 1558 to 1603.’ Assess the validity of this view. TASK: In pairs, work together to create a plan for this question, using your fish diagrams and own knowledge.

Was successfully established Was not successfully established ‘The Elizabethan religious settlement was successfully established in the years 1558 to 1603.’ Assess the validity of this view. Was successfully established Was not successfully established No threat from Catholics in the first 10 years Threat from the Catholics in the middle years was significant (plots) Attack (Vestiarian Controversy) from Puritans in the early years was not significant. Elizabeth is forced to impose strict penalties against Catholics (Penal Laws) By the end of the reign both Presbyterianism and Catholicism had been marginalised. 1580s: Catholic priests, infiltrated into England by the Jesuits, attempted to recatholicise England and his led to high profile executions Her settlement lasts her entire reign. It lasts in that her settlement does not change, and that opposition is not successful. The religious settlement also faced severe challenges from both Presbyterian and Puritan factions who openly challenged elements of the religious settlement. Elizabeth’s broad church argument

FLIP LEARNING TASK: The following task is due in today: Finish off the Elizabeth I and Ministers lesson Finish off the Elizabeth I and Parliament lesson The following task is due in today:

Ministers / Privy Council In what ways and how effectively was England governed during this period? What we need to cover Ministers / Privy Council Finance Court Parliament Here is a diagram that shows the different elements of government we will study for Elizabeth. By the end of our lessons on government, you should be able to confidently talk about each across Elizabeth’s 45 year reign.

Elizabeth I: Court and Finance KNOW How Elizabeth’s court was structured Elizabeth’s financial situation EXPLAIN The importance of the Royal Court Elizabeth’s financial policies EVALUATE How government institutions linked together How effectively did the Tudors restore and develop the powers of the monarchy? In what ways and how effectively was England governed during this period?

Elizabeth I: Court TASK: Make a mind map, full of information you know about the Royal Court Royal Court A group of people who moved from place to place with the monarch. Government Offices Privy Council Queen’s personal household Privy Chamber TASK What can you infer about the importance of the Royal Court? For the task, emphasise the social and political overlap between the two KNOW how Elizabeth’s court was structured EXPLAIN the importance of the Royal Court

Blurred Lines… You will be told examples of the lines blurring between Court and Council. You will need to draw them, using no words (will be a chance to write them later! Court is where factionalism was played out especially Dudley and Norfolk.  Many of the rumours etc. especially those surrounding Dudley circulated around Court.  Women were more significant than in other Tudor Courts due to the structure of the Royal Household.  Elizabeth’s eye was often caught by attractive men at court e.g. Hatton and Essex which led to their promotion.  Foreign ambassadors were also significant at Court given the marriage issue and later tension with Spain.

Elizabeth I: Attempts to raise finance Elizabeth ruled at a time of inflationary pressure on the economy. The prices of basic commodities rose, as did the goods that the government consumed (e.g. iron for shipbuilding). To remain solvent, or to stand any chance of pursuing an active foreign policy, the crown had to increase its revenue… TASK: Please get down this table, and use pp.197-198 to put Elizabeth’s different approaches to finance in the relevant boxes. Change/ Reverse to policies of Henry VIII Continuity Challenge! Explain how successful Elizabeth’s financial policies were (p.198 in-between the sources) KNOW Elizabeth’s financial situation EXPLAIN Elizabeth’s financial policies

Elizabeth I: Finance Change/ Reverse to policies of Henry VIII As head of the Church, Elizabeth claimed income from a variety of religious sources, such as the ‘first fruits’ tax on all new ecclesiastical office holder. Parliament was approached to grant additional subsidies to finance foreign policy. Crown lands (some from the Church) were sold of to raise £800,000 Monopoly rights to produce or import particular products were sold to merchants Elizabeth controlled expenditure by taking a cautious approach to foreign policy. Elizabeth tried to use diplomacy instead of open combat. Elizabeth saved money by underpaying officials and delaying the appointment of Bishops (so the Crown can collect Church tax) Continuity The New Book of Rates introduced at the end of Mary’s reign increased income from custom duties on exports. The recovery of the cloth trade after the crash of 1550 also helped generate taxes. KNOW Elizabeth’s financial situation EXPLAIN Elizabeth’s financial policies

Elizabeth I: Finance Success Failure She had enough money to defend England against the vastly superior strength of Spain Left the Crown in debt Elizabeth failed to radically transform what was essentially her fathers financial system Burghley was inefficient at extracting the Crown’s assets Crown had to rely on Parliament in the 17th Century, and this can be traced back to Elizabeth KNOW Elizabeth’s financial situation EXPLAIN Elizabeth’s financial policies

EVALUATE how different government institutions link together Monarch Privy Council Ministers TASK Create links (with at least one example) between the different elements of Elizabeth’s Government. Royal Court Parliament Finance EVALUATE how different government institutions link together

Monarch Ministers Royal Court Parliament Finance Privy Council Prerogative power to appoint/dismiss ministers e.g. Cecil for ability and Dudley for ‘pleasure’ Key Ministers in the Privy Council e.g. Burghley, Dudley Privy Council Ministers Courtiers caught Elizabeth’s eye and were made Councillors e.g. Hatton and Dudley Factionalism played out at Court Monarch calls/dissolved Parliament (13 sessions over 45 years) Controlled Parliament e.g. Cecil/Hatton controlling MP’s such as Norton, Bell Royal Court Courtiers join the Council e.g. Dudley Councillors join the Court e.g. Cecil Parliament Use to demonstrate scale of overlap, rather than for students to write down (they can use the blog to write it down!) Queen could claim income as head of the church e.g. First Fruits tax Parliament grant subsidies e.g. to finance foreign policy Issues with monopolies at the end of Liz’s reign Finance
