The work due in for today is:

2. Using your understanding of the historical context, assess how convincing the arguments in these three extracts are in relation to the reasons for the outbreak of the Pilgrimage of Grace. (30 marks)
Last lesson you were asked to analyse and complete a planning grid for one of the three extracts. Today, we are going to start by comparing what we have got and then sharing it with the other people on your table.
TASK:
First, everyone that has looked at the same extract will need to get together and compare the information they have got to ensure that you have the best answer possible.
Move back to your table and then share this information. You should then be able to complete the rest of the grids.

4. What different factors had an impact on the English economy?
There were many different things that contributed towards the English economy during this period such as trade, exploration, enclosures and the population and on the whole there are clear signs of both prosperity and depression.
Task: I would like you to create a guide on the economy during the reign of Henry VIII and the impact different factors had on it. You will need to look at the following:
Trade and exploration (pg )
Enclosures (pg. 112)
Population (pg. 112)
You will need to outline what each one was and then explain the impact it would have on the English economy, both positive and negative. Each point should go across a double page and there should also be a front cover and the back cover should be left blank.
Overall, which do you think had the biggest impact on English economy during this period?

7. Trade and Exploration Positive Negative Trade:
The volume of trade increased during the first half of the 16th Century = rise in cloth exports
There were significant increases in the export of woollen cloth, hides and tin
Increased import of wine = spending power of the more prosperous increased
Places like Southampton boomed due to trade with Venice (though was short lived)
Increase in cheaper fabrics such as kersey
There were some profits to be made as the woollen industry grew in order to keep pace with the increased demand, especially if you were a rich and entrepreneurial clothier
The areas which saw the greatest growth in the cloth industry were the West Riding of Yorkshire, East Anglia and parts of the West County
There was also growth in the mining industries, such as Cornish tin, lead, coal and iron ore, which much focused in the northeast of England.
Decline in the market for raw wool
Increased number of cloth routed through London = negative impact on ports like Bristol, Hull and Boston and therefore the provincial traders found it harder to compete with their London rivals.
Much of the profits didn’t find their way back to England as much of the trade went through foreign hands first.
Work in the cloth industry was not always secure and could lead to poverty
Exploration:
- Henry VIII was uninterested in exploration and therefore made no attempts to build on earlier achievements. Therefore, there were very few new links established during this time.

8. Enclosures Positive Negative
Wolsey launched an enclosure commission to assess the scale of the problem and proceedings launched against 188 defendants who were found guilty of enclosing illegally.
Very little damage as a result of enclosures happened under this period, most had happened before 1485.
Further legislation was enforced in 1534 to limit sheep ownership and engrossing (though had limited results also)
Had little impact
Caused a moral problem as the poor had to leave their homes
Legislation and trying to deal with the problem was often ineffective

9. Population Positive Negative
Wealthier farmers and landowners benefited as the income from farming rose and still not having to raise the price of wages
Growing class of substantial farmers who were able to respond to the changing market conditions and who enjoyed much better material conditions as a result.
John Guy argued ‘agricultural improvement prompted economic growth at the cost of peasant distress; increased production generated prosperity for landlords and impoverishment for wage-earners’
Increase in population – strain on food supplies and therefore difficult to meet demand
Wages remained stagnant due to plentiful supply of cheap labour
‘Richer became richer and the poorer became poorer– Society becoming more separated into the rich and the poor and the poor was blamed for their own situation because of idleness = tougher measures against vagrancy and begging.

10. Overall, how prosperous was the economy under Henry VIII?
John Guy has argued that, ‘England was economically healthier, more expansive and more optimistic under the Tudors’, but to what extent is this actually the case?
