Dealings with the nobility - EIV 2nd reign
- Recognised most effective gov based on co-op btw king + nobles
> made use of their desire for stability + order
> nobles chosen from their effectiveness not just loyalty - Nobles respected EIV mil. skills, shared enthusiam for chivalry + appreciated willingness to trust + involve them in gov
- Worked towards reconciliation - not revenge
> imposed fines + pardons
~ eg. Lord Stanley - Rewarded those whom were loyal to him
> eg. Lord Hastings made Captain of Calais
> eg. Earl of WW estates shared btw 2 bros - Continued policy he used in 1st reign
> using trusted supporters, especially loyal family members to control large regions
> men whom lacked ability excluded from control
~ eg. Henry Dof Buckingham + Willian Herbert - Increased royal authority
> after 1471 exculsion from local power of high individuals
~ eg. Buckingham m. sister of Queen + descended from EIII
~ William Herbert Eof Pembroke
> both lacked ability but still hoped to dominate Wales and Marches
