12th Century:
Finance had been dealt with by the Exchequer
Receive, store and pay out money, audit accounts
Complex hierarchy of official to avoid corruption = slow!!
Yorkist King’s Chamber system:
Informal and flexible (because it is new)
Based on systems used by nobles on their estates
King’s Chamber dealt with the King’s finance (control)
First 2 years of HVII reign, not experienced enough to carry this on (goes back to the exchequer)
So focused on security he neglected his estates Richard III reign estates = £25,000 vs = £12,000
1487:
Restored the Chamber system
1490’s: handling annual turnover of £100,000 (£4 million)
Dealt with all income apart from custom duties (Exchequer)
Privy Chamber became the National Treasury from 1487

Used trusted Councillors (Sir Reginald Bray) to regularly audit government spending.
