Nobles - pushed to local & central government
Government = more centralised - liked by gentry (social climbers)
Gentry used royal service to gain patronage EXAMPLE; Sir Reginald Bray left £1,000 worth of lands in his will - lands given to him by Henry VII (ultimately, Henry wins)
Children of the gentry taught laws at Inns of Court - Henry could maniuplate the gentry to operated the way he wants
