Example text

Wolsey then tried to show that there had been a great increase in private wealth and that the country was well able to pay the £800,000 demanded. 43 When this grant was communicated to Wolsey, he rejected it out of hand, and tried to intimidate the Commons by saying that the Lords had already granted the crown's original demands. '44 On 21 May Sir John Hussey, the Chief Butler of England,45 and a former Master of the Wards,46 proposed that gentlemen of £50 in lands should grant the king 1s/£1 to be levied in a third year.

But all money bills, especially those granting the newer subsidies possessed a dual nature. They were both grants of certain sums of money to the crown, and, in order to realise these grants, they were also a congeries of clauses specifying a whole variety of administrative actions. The indenture form was certainly an adequate form of grant; but did the clauses concerning the levying of the taxes contained in the indentures have the force of law? 102 But among the forms of assent that are known, an interesting trend can be discerned.

70 Again the acts of 1543 and 1545 contain a clause which deals with the possibility of dual liability arising, to the subsidy bill and to the subsidy of the clergy, granted by Convocation and enacted by parliament. 72 In both 1543 and in 1545, therefore, both the subsidy bills were thus considered by parliament roughly simultaneously, but the lay subsidy bills slightly before the clerical subsidy bills. And in both years both the lay and the clerical subsidy bills contained clauses on the question of dual liability.
