1. FLIP LEARNING
TASK:
Using what you have learnt this lesson, I would like you to:
- Come up with 3 argument for and against the following statement:
‘Henry had nothing to fear from the nobility’
You should then write a conclusion as to whether you think this statement is true or not.
2. You have also been given a sheet which either says ‘Ordinary revenue’ OR ‘Extraordinary revenue’. Using pages of the textbook you will need to fill in your sheet with the relevant information.
If your are looking at ORDINARY revenue you are allowed 50 words per hexagon and EXTRAORDINARY 30 words per hexagon.
At the end of last lesson you were given this independent learning. Its now time to see what you have come up with.
We are going to hold a debate based on the statement ‘Henry had nothing to fear from the nobility’. Your name will be selected at random and I would like to hear your conclusion and the evidence you have to support. Anything you have missing from your homework should be added in green pen.

2. So where did Henry VII get his income from?
King were expected to ‘live off their own’. HVII swore to do this in his coronation. This meant they had to manage their regular income.
Task:
For your homework you were asked to fill in your hexagons in relation to ORDINARY or EXTRAORDINARY revenue.
You will now need to pair up with someone with someone with the opposite information and teach each other the information. You have each been given a second worksheet to record your new information.
Once you have completed, I would then like you to write an answer as to which was the most effective form of income for Henry VII? Explain why.

7. So what changes to government were made?
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
Deal with private expenditure
Groom of the stool becomes 2nd important to treasurer
Head of finance: Treasurer of England (theory) vs. Treasurer of the Chamber (reality)
Used trusted Councillors (Sir Reginald Bray) to regularly audit government spending.
