Regulations introduced by Wolsey in 1526 to reduce spending and improve the organisation of Henry VIII’s royal household.

Paper 2
Revise: Wolsey's Rise and PoliciesThe Eltham Ordinances of 1526 concerned the organisation and spending of the royal household, rather than the courts of law. Henry’s court had too many attendants, poor discipline and wasteful expenditure.
Distinguish the Eltham Ordinances, which reformed the royal household, from Wolsey’s reforms of the courts of law.
Use dates to keep your argument within the question’s period: the Eltham Ordinances of 1526 do not provide evidence for a question ending in 1525.
