- 1. The household proper was responsible for looking after the king, the courtiers, guests who were being entertained. The person incharge of this was Lord steward
- 2. The Chamber was supervised by Lord chamberlain, him and other courtiers were influencial courtiers. The position was one that required incredible trust.

- Because of this the Privy chamber was created - where he could be protected, this made it harder to get in the kings favour and gain his support
