Privy Chamber
Privy Chamber Attention to my fellow Englanders in support of King Henry VIII, I am the night of the Shire for Surrey, and although I may not take vote in today’s agendas, I can still inform you on important matter. As a dear friend of the King, I, nor should any of our other Englanders wish struggle, persuasion, and corruption on to our king. Which is why I am here telling you about this chamber in which we meet and discuss public and private matters with the King and help him make decisions, instead of The Council. We call this chamber the Privy Chamber. A Privy chamber would be the private apartment of a royal residence in England. The gentlemen of the Privy chamber would be servants to the Crown who would wait and attend on the King and Queen at court during their various activities, functions and entertainments.
The Privy chamber can possibly be the most influential department in an English royal household. It will contain the king's 'privy lodging', consisting of bedroom, library, study, and the toilet. What is currently known as the Chamber of the King’s living quarters will eventually by divided into a Privy chamber, and outer chamber, and the Great Hall.
King Henry has a "desire to have friends around him"; friends who also enjoyed sports and jousting as our King does. The Gentlemen of the Chamber will quite possibly become very distinguished individuals, even possibly having more influence over the King even than his own wife. We see forward that as our King’s rule continues to progress, the number of gentlemen in the Privy chamber should correspondingly increase as well, partly to accommodate outsiders who will recognize the advantages of holding a post so close to the King, and partly to provide enough cover to allow staff some release from duty.
This is how I feel we should operate our decisions for our country and not by The Council’s choice. People close to the King will know how he is actually feeling towards each topic that could be brought

    Henry VII was very keen to limit the power of his nobility because he saw the great and powerful nobles as dangerous, he thought that if they had a big enough army they could rise up against him and over throw him, this was a constant worry to Henry as he had risen up and usurped the throne himself. Therefore to avoid the possible danger he tried his very best to limit the power which the nobility had. One way in which he attempted to do this was to keep the nobility to a very small number, this was a successful method as it made it very easy for Henry to keep a close eye on each one and their families to make sure they wasn’t planning any revolts which could affect Henry and his hold on the throne. The tight grip allowed Henry to give clear instructions and to make sure they stayed in order and loyal however due to the huge cut in nobles local areas began to suffer due to the fact there was no one there to keep them in order, this led to a breakdown in laws over different towns.…

    During the time period of the late sixteenth century to the late eighteenth century the concept of what nobility is and what it was conceived to be varied greatly as more modern thoughts developed and desperation of monarchs grew to meet such demand. The arguments related to nobility differed greatly, but these were the most crucial; the difference between the sword and the robe and the right to even hold such a position at all.…

    When living in the court of King Henry VIII, one must be cautious at all times. A single wrong move, and the overly paranoid King would have your head in a basket before you had the chance to make your case. This lesson was learned by the King’s closest advisor, Thomas Cromwell in the early half of the 16th century. “Class was everything at the court of Henry VIII. You were born into greatness. You did not work your way up.” English society has always been notoriously classist, and this was especially true during the time of the Tudor throne. Despite the odds however, Cromwell managed to quickly rise through the ranks of English society. He worked his way through the English upper classes and made both himself, and his station essential to…

    What Was Henry Viii's Rule

    • 1871 Words
    • 8 Pages

    The successes of Henry VIII can be seen in his ability to keep and gain power and the force of his military efforts.To determine if Henry’s rule was a success, we must define what success means in the context of a ruler. This argument identifies the goals set forth by Henry, and his ability to achieve these goals. It’s also worthwhile to note the state and legacy that his rule left upon England. The reasons we can call Henry VIII’s reign a success will be laid out in his personal, political, religious and military accomplishments while on the throne. Henry’s reign can be defined by his ability to indulge in his desires. Whether that was to take and hold power, spend money on luxuries and war, or to consume more food in his later years. He had a number of personal desires beyond living a life of luxury, namely to have an male heir to the throne. Despite troubling history of marriage, he was successful in not only producing one heir, but three: Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I.Henry was successful in using fear to make those seeking to undermine think…

    I wouldn’t say I’m a negative person, but I found three things to banish from this world surprisingly easy. Room 101 is designed to house the things that you hate but perhaps others love. I could have put a long list of things in it such as marmite and the many mouthfuls I have later regretted making with this substance involved. But nothing gets me more annoyed than the following three things, and by the end I hope you can agree with me.…

    Rufus King

    Rufus King’s life was well portrayed by the way he lived and his home was a great way of showing that. The outside of the house was an off white color and had a big door as an entrance that demonstrated power. As I entered the house, I noticed the different types of shades the walls. For instance the Parlor, which for us is known as the living room, was very spacious and had great detailing by the fireplace, which represented wealth. The marble was somewhat luxurious and gave the guest a nice impression. The walls were a bright green color and the reason for it was because he felt the brighter the more money and success it brought. In this same room was a portrait of the King family, a finger dipper and a teapot.…

    Lotherington says, ‘No king could rule without the co-operation of the nobility, which was largely responsible for conducting the king’s business in the provinces’ and Pendrill supports this when he says that Henry VII’s prime aim was to restore a partnership in government, shifting the balance in his favour after the disruption of the Wars of the Roses. Policies to achieve this combined a mix of the ‘carrot and stick’ technique. The ‘stick’ approach combined military and financial restraints and a reduction in central and local power. Whereas the ‘carrot,’ approach saw Henry develop a reward system for service and encouraging loyalty from his peers. However the question remains, how did Henry do when meeting the nobles. Are we to believe Pendrill who claims, ‘Henry’s relationship with his nobility was, ultimately a failure.’ Or are we to follow Guy’s line who claims, ‘by means of bonds, Henry VII in effect disabled his nobility.’…

    4. What is Henry implying when he says that he is loyal to "the majesty of heaven...above all earthly kings"? What tone (manner in which an author expresses his attitude) does this statement hold? He is clarifying that he is loyal to God above anyone else. I believe the tone is a humble yet respectful one, though some may think otherwise.…

    A Room on the Roof

    Savyon Liebrecht was a child of survivors from the Holocaust and like many other children who went through the same experience; she had to deal with the trauma of the past. This admired contemporary writer has grown up, and through her writings, it is evident that she is still trying to understand and live with the "silence" which her blood relations bestowed upon her. A Room on the Roof displays the innate tension when prejudice, misunderstanding and fear that arises when not knowing, and questioning what is known to ones self. It seems that individuals adopt thinking, values and beliefs of those around them, which is primarily learned from families. With this, our judgments are clouded by the values we were raised with and that in turn, affect our worldviews.…

    Arthur, Guinevere and Launcelot all have public duties as King, Queen, and Knight of the Round Table, but they also have private chivalric and courtly responsibilities to spouses, lovers and friends. Analyzing Le Morte D’Arthur from a nature-text standpoint, author influence can be seen in this respect as Sir Thomas Malory “attempts to address and resolve the contradictions of noble life in his own time (Armstrong 29). Because Malory had lived through 15th century England and the War of the Roses, he had undoubtedly experiences “continuous social fluctuation from a variety of factors such as the hastening dissolution of feudal relationships, the rise of the merchant class, and repeated struggles among the nobility for the crown” (Helvie 4). Considering Malory’s turbulent life and the period of unstable identities in which he lived, it makes good sense that Le Morte D’Arthur depicts characters facing similar problems of identity. Therefore, the renegotiation of knightly identity through disguise and anonymity shows a shift in knightly identity around the time of Sir Malory, where chivalric incognito allow knights to construct their identity by deeds and actions rather than medieval reputation and naming conventions (Gathof…
