Discussion Of Kingship Legitimacy Of Elizabeth ?

The Elizabeth ? era was the peak of the traditional British monarchy development,as well as the prosperous and progressing period in British history.It is bound to come down to the legitimacy of its rule.Legitimacy is the evaluation of the relationship between the ruled and the ruler.It is the process in which the political power and its compliance prove their own legitimacy.It is the recognition of ruling power.The cores of the power legitimacy are the approval of the ruled and the recognition of the society.During the Elizabeth period,whether the personal charm highlighted by the queen's befriending behavior,the effects of the implementation of economic policies and measures,or the coordination appeared when dealing with the relationship between various social classes,met the core requirement needed by kingship legitimacy to a large extent.Henry VII established Tudor Dynasty and what he firstly faced with was the stability of the new dynasty.The use of violent means to undermine the competitive enemy and the forced implementation of economic measures were necessary for the establishment of kingship legitimacy.Henry VIII succeeded to the throne and the consolidation and expansion of the kingship lied in the system construction.The restructuring of government agencies was carried out by brute force and the relationship between the government and the society was readjusted.The church wealth was plundered using religious reformation to satisfy royal fee and reformation cost.The allocation of the interests was carried out and kingship legitimacy was consolidated from this.During the Early Tudor Period,the kingship was stable through the violent coercion of Henry VII and religious reformation and system innovation of Henry VIII.The kingship legitimacy was also identified.But at the same time,the British political,economic and social aspects were changing.After Elizabeth ? ascended the throne,the existence of kingship legitimacy was facing new challenges and conformism could not cope with the new situation.At the social level,the new class was rising rapidly,and the old stratum was relatively declining.The social unrest during Mary I period arose the fear of people to strong kingship.Therefore,Elizabeth ? firstly released goodwill to people and readjusted social policies.Thus the kingship legitimacy was reconstructed,making the British economy and society developed comprehensively under the rule of traditional kingship.The construction of the kingship legitimacy needs the support of rich wealth and the man with most power is also the richest man.Elizabeth ? was not as lucky as Henry Royal.Henry VII obtained the large-scale real estate through the civil war,which was enough to support the cost of the royal family which was not in large scale then.Henry VIII plundered a large number of temples looted property in religious reformation and became rich temporarily.During the period of Elizabeth,the royal family,the nobility,the officials,the professional classes and the poor were facing different economic circumstances.The royal government has formulated different policies and adopted different measures according to different situations and obtained corresponding results.The royal family and the queen herself solved the debt problems of the former legacy and realized balance of financial revenue and expenditure basically although the loan was restarted due to the massive foreign war in the late reign.The royal government took various measures to grant nobles and upper society members,making part of nobles get rid of the plight of insufficient wealth,and also won a large number of intermediate strength.The strong measures implemented to regulate the market and specific measures serving for the market by the royal government were beneficial to the healthy development of the economy to a certain extent.In the face of the changes of the times,Elizabeth implemented rational economic policies and measures and carried out cautious social policies.The kingship legitimacy was constructed on the basis of the bottom-up identity.
