    This extract from the Handbook to the Maude Roll is regarding the Yorkist overthrow of the last Lancastrian King. The Canterbury roll, henceforth referred to as the Roll, is written between 1429 and 1433. This is during the reign of the Lancastrian King Henry V. A Yorkist scribe writes our extract at a later date. Shirota identifies this later date as sometime after 1460, but most likely after 1461 because Richard III is identified as Duke of Gloucester. Our extract fits in to the wider context of the Roll in a many ways. Our extract is the justification for the deposition of Henry VI by Edward IV, and is one of many depositions featured throughout the Roll. One of the earliest depositions featured in detail is that of Archigallus, a British King, who is deposed for his violent tyrannical ways. Archigallus is eventually restored for changing his ways and becomes a just king. We can pare our extract with another section of the Roll. There is an earlier extract that talks of Henry Iv, when he was still Henry of Darby, imprisoning Richard II and how he became…

    The conflict between the secular leader and the spiritual leader emerged from the church’s desire to get power to invest Church officials. It was a conflict between the pope and the Holy Roman Emperor because both leaders desired to appoint the Church officials. It was just like a war over getting power for investiture. The emperors thought that they were secular and had the authority to do that, but papacy’s understanding did not like it. The main conflict between Pope Gregory VII and Henry IV occurred in the 11th century. The pope St. Gregory VII looked a strongest reformer, was elected in 1073, and had a viewpoint that Papacy was spiritual and it must be over the empire. The Pope Gregory VII had some reforms called Gregorian reforms, such…

    Thomas Wolsey was Henry's most important minister early in his reign. Wolsey became Archbishop of York in late 1514, was created a cardinal of the Catholic Church the following November, and became Lord Chancellor of the realm in December 1515. Wolsey achieved singular stature in these offices. Since Henry was not so interested in administration as his minister, Wolsey took over many of the duties of kingship, overseeing England's finances and diplomatic relations with other European powers. Henry became extremely dependent on Wolsey, whose zeal and ability as an administrator made him indespensable. Among Henry's contemporaries on the European continent, many considered Wolsey to be the true ruler of England, since it was to him that foreign officials were often directed to address concerns meant for the English king.…

    The pursuit of glory and honour outweighed the security of England in deciding Henrician foreign policy. Although Henry’s foreign policy in this period was greatly influenced by his desire for security, both personal and national, there is much historiographical debate as to whether it was the primary motive of his actions abroad. In this essay glory and honour will be dealt with together, although glory tends to be associated with wartime victory, whereas honour is related to the upholding of status and in particular the dignity of Henry VIII - together both of these contribute to the overall prestigious nature of a monarch and are associated heavily with one another in a late Medieval context. Whilst security was consistent with the desires…
