在所有社会中,正式的政府结构总要与非正式的权力网络相结合,并通过后者发挥作用。亨利七世为了加强统治,提升一些新人作为自己的代理人,但是这些新贵为了确立自己在当地社会的权威,施加影响以确保君主意愿的有效执行,他们不得不将财富花费在能够构建其权威的社交活动上,诸如购置房产、款待宾客、购买礼物、宗教捐赠、扶植教育等行为。然而他们的生活方式却给人以傲慢暴发户的印象,这使得他们在国王死后容易受到政敌的攻击。一些新贵仍然是位高权重的廷臣,另一些却成为亨利七世不受欢迎政策的替罪羊并被处死,因为他们的行为确实符合出身卑微者给人的一贯印象,即其真正意图不是公共服务而是自我牟利。 In all societies, formal government structures are always combined with an informal network of power and through which the latter works. In order to strengthen the rule and promote some new people as their own agents, Henry VII, in order to establish their authority in the local community and exert influence to ensure the effective execution of the monarchy, these upstarts had to spend their wealth on the things that could build their authority Social activities, such as the purchase of real estate, hospitality guests, gifts, religious donations, education and other activities. Yet their way of life gives the impression of arrogant upstarts, which make them vulnerable to political rivals after the King’s death. Some of the upstarts are still powerful courtiers, others become scapegoats for Henry VII’s unpopular policy and are executed as their actions do exactly as the impressions given by the humble ones that their true intentions are not public services Self-profit.
