· Henry was not a miser - spent money when necessary – especially to enhance the image of his kingship.
· Henry inherited the Crown in the poor financial state and by end of his reign, the Crown was solvent.
· Last few years of his life became more obsessed with amassing a fortune – perhaps to secure the Tudor dynasty for his son Henry. Left plate and jewels around £300,000 and £10,000 in cash. A substantial sum but not an extraordinary one.
