  • Regency Council is dominated by the reformists under Seymour despite Henry wanting to balance the power between the reformist and the Catholics under Norfolk and Gardiner.
  • Fear that Edward would either create civil war and or be murdered/unrest (Edward V 1483) like other minority kings
  • minority king would not be able to leead tropps into war/exploitation by other monarchs/ civil war like the former War of the Roses/ inability to control faction/image of the king(using coins to protray power/military adept
