In source 4 we also learn that much must have depended on diplomatic relations with Maximilian and Ferdinand, however Henry’s allies proved unfaithful and unreliable. Source 4, is written by a member of the Government of England. The government is who Henry and Wolsey would go to for Money for these situations. The Government did not like how much Money Henry kept asking for so this could have been reflected in Keith Randall’s report. Henry spent 1.4 millions pounds on fighting wars between 1511-25 and this set England back a far way.
Before John was King of England, for many years, the kings defended English territory within France by using English men and money. King John acted in this similar way but his military campaigns were unsuccessful. England and France were constantly at war. By 1204, he had lost his lands in northern France; this included his family’s ancestral land in Normandy and Anjou to Philip II. In order to continue battling France, the King forced from his barons greater taxes and additional military services, this angered the barons because he did not consult them before raising taxes; this was a violation of feudal law and custom.
Both sides were seizing the estates of their enemies to finance the war effort, creating even more political chaos. The King gained several victories, which all the more inclined him not to negotiate or compromise with the rebels. Having said this, the parliament had their own internal divisions which had a direct effect on that of a settlement. The division of parliament into Presbyterians and Independents made it much more difficult to reach a settlement after 1646. Parliament couldn’t agree on anything such as taxes.
The Magna Carta Jason Turley HIS 276 August 23rd, 2012 Daniel Solarz The Magna Carta The Magna Carta became the first document to try and limit a king’s power and protect the people and give them rights. One question, however, why would a king who was the ruler of his own country agree to the demands of his own subjects whom were supposed to be under is authority. The Magna Carta demonstrated that a king’s power could be limited by a written grant. King John liked to abuse is power; oppress his subjects, which led to angering a majority of his barons with increased taxes and a high demand of soldiers for his dwindling military, thus making him an unpopular king. The barons had numerous complaints about their king.
Also, his high debts led to taxes which he imposed on the citizens of Spain. Philip II did nothing a leader should do, a leader should be able to allow there people to be secure, allow the people to allow them to grow financially, and allow them to follow their religion of choice. Since Phillip failed at leading his people his whole kingship can be considered a failure. If Phillip II changed his tactics then his kingship may have led to success and prosperity. But in the end Philip II will go down in the Books as a Catholic Zealot who was reckless with money, and the loser of the Spanish armada.
John abandoned his plans to invade France, but demanded taxes anyway. This angered the barons because they usually only paid taxes in wartime.

This law kept money in the empire but hurt the pockets of the wealthy colonists mercantilist that depended on the shipping trade. Then when the French Indian War ended the King made them keep the treaties that had been made with the Indians and refused the rich merchants the right to expand and claim more land. The war had also left England in debt as most wars do, so England called on the colonist to pay taxes to help with their own defense. They did not single the American colonist out they asked this of all of their subjects in all the colonies under English rule. So in 1767 England passed the Townshend Acts which included the Revenue Act of 1767, the Indemnity Act, the Commissioners of Customs Act, the Vice Admiralty Court Act, and the New York Restraining Act.
Here I state one of the reasons why he left the Roman Catholic Church: • In the bible it stated that if you were to marry your brother’s wife you would be cursed with no children. However Henry VIII needed a son to take over the thrown when Henry had died – This would not happened though if the curse was put upon them. An economic factor was a large proportion of what made Henry VIII leave the Roman Catholic Church. Economic: anything to do with the money and wealth. Henry mainly left the Church because of his money situation: • Whilst Henry VIII was in a violent war with France, he had run out of money.
He raised taxes like ship money, which people had to pay money to the king to provide warships fro the navy. He found many unreasonable ways to raise money; he billeted his soldiers with homeowners, increased fees for government services and sold noble titles to anyone who would support him and loan him money. He causes many people to starve and lost their homes. He used all the money on his own needs, he never care about his subject. So why should we care about him?
But they knew that they couldn’t rely on that army so the emperors raised all of the taxes because hiring the army was expensive. The military have gotten treats from northern european tribes. The military also got low funds for defense. The military got problems recruting roman citzens and recruting of non-romans. The military was declined of patriotism and loyalty among soldiers.
