2. Henry VII: Key Individuals
Good learning:
Define a key individual under Henry VII
Great learning:

How important was the role of key individuals

3. What does it take to be a key individual during the reign of Henry VII?
For your homework you were asked to look at three key individuals under Henry VII and by the end of the lesson we will have assessed how important we think they are. In order to do this we will need a criteria.
TASK: In your pairs number yourselves 1 and 2.
Now, answer the question that matches your number:
What is a criteria? Why is a Criteria important?
In your tables and on your whiteboards create a criteria for
what you would expect to see if someone was
important under the reign of Henry VII.

4. Empson and Dudley
Edmund Dudley
Lawyer - specialised in the prerogative rights of the King as a lawyer
1504 = part of the Council Learned in the Law (Reginald Bray died in 1503)
Role was to manage the King’s ways of collecting money owed
He sold offices, wardships, and licences to marry the widows of tenants-in-chief; pardons for treason, sedition, murder, riot, retaining, and other offences.
His agents. like John Camby, quickly acquired a reputation for extortionate use of their influence
He was tried in London in July 1509 and convicted of treason
He confesses to 84 cases where he extracted money illegally
Dudley was finally beheaded on Tower Hill in 1510
Richard Empson
Lawyer
1504 = part of the Council Learned in the Law (Reginald Bray died in 1503).
Empson relentlessly strove to increase the king’s revenue.
He raised rents, cancelled rebates, ran surveys and audits, investigated feudal dues.
As part of the Council Learned he pursued the king’s debtors  and his techniques were not pretty. He dug out approvers, third parties who would bring prosecutions against individuals; he imprisoned people to force them to settle fines.
He used his position to further his own ends too – for example his attempt to disinherit Sir Robert Plumpton in the interests of his daughter.
Empson was arrested just three days after HVII’s death
Empson was finally beheaded on Tower Hill in 1510
Collectively, they set up a system of spies. 46/62 noble families suffered financially. They increased use of bonds. Characterised by Polydore Vergil and others as extortioners. All they did was sanctioned and encouraged by King Henry VII.

5. John Morton
Archbishop of Canterbury from 1486 until his death and also Lord Chancellor of England from 1487.
He was elevated to the cardinalate in 1493
As Lord Chancellor, Morton was tasked with restoring the royal estate
By the end of Henry VII's reign, the king's frugality, and Morton's tax policy, carried out by Edmund Dudley and Richard Empson, had replenished the treasury.
Came up with the concept of ‘Morton’s Fork’
A Morton's fork is a type of false dilemma
Someone living modestly must be saving money and, therefore, could afford taxes
Someone living extravagantly obviously was rich and, therefore, could afford taxes
Now that you have clarifies your information on all 3 individuals and using the criteria we have discussed, decide who you feel was the most important individual.

6. “………………………. was the most important individual during the reign of Henry VII” Assess the validity of this view
Now that you have decided on who you think is the most important individual, You need to argue that is the case.
Write one sentence that summarises how important the individual is.
Write sentences that contain evidence about what the key person did.
Use your criteria to explain why the evidence you have used, either makes them important, or not.
PEER ASSESSMENT
Swap your answer with a partner and mark the following in green pen:
- Give them 1 point for a sentence that summaries how important they are.
Give them 2 points for the evidence (Only one if it could be improved).
Give them up to 3 points depending on how well they have used the criteria as part of their explanation.
Add up their points and give them a total out of 6 and explain their score.
TASK: Using the criteria and the structure slip you have been given, you will need to write a PEE paragraph on why they are the most important.
Extra Challenge: Once completed write another PEE paragraph that explain why one of the other individuals is NOT as important.

You will each be given a number and depending on your number it will relate to one of the key questions.
You will each need to create a piece of revision material (no bigger that one side of A3 paper) with information and detail that relates to that question. You can work with other people doing the same question as you for the rest of the lesson and then you will need to complete it for homework.
These will then be collected in and then shared so that you have something for each of the key questions.
